Liverpool-owned Loris Karius might have to make way for Andreas Luthe once again when Union Berlin welcome Koln to the Stadion An der Alten Försterei on Saturday. Read our reasons for Union Berlin vs Koln prediction and betting tips.
Karius made three successive starts in the absence of Luthe between Matchdays 20 and 23. Despite conceding only once across 270 minutes of football, the 27-year-old ceded his place to first-choice goalkeeper Luthe last time out as seventh-placed Union was held to a goalless draw by lowly Arminia Bielefeld. With left-back Christopher Lenz failing to shake off his muscular problem, head coach Urs Fischer looks set to name a very similar same starting line-up, with Julian Ryerson filling in at left-back. Liverpool loanee Taiwo Awoniyi's continued absence should hand Bayer Leverkusen loanee Joel Pohjanpalo another shot at ending a goal drought stretching back to the first weekend in November - though the Bayer Leverkusen did miss 12 games with an ankle injury.
Union: Luthe - Trimmel (c), Friedrich, Knoche, Ryerson - Prömel, Andrich - Ingvartsen, Kruse, Endo - Pohjanpalo
Out: Awoniyi (thigh), Becker (ankle), Gießelmann (shoulder), Hübner (ill), Lenz (muscular), Ujah (knee)
Doubtful: -
Coach: Urs Fischer
Union's top-flight status is all but secure for another season with 10 games left. If only Koln could say the same. The Billy Goats are only three points clear of the relegation play-off spot but did end a three-match losing run in their 1-1 draw with Werder Bremen last Sunday. It marked just the seventh point they've taken on home soil this season, compared to 15 on their travels. Scoring goals has been Koln's biggest problem in 2020/21, not helped by the long-term absence of former Union striker Sebastian Andersson. Only Schalke (16) and Bielefeld (18) have struck fewer times than Koln (22) after 24 games. Club Brugge loanee forward Emmanuel Dennis will hope to have the opportunity to change that - and break his Bundesliga duck - having set up fellow substitute Jonas Hector's equalizer against Bremen.
Koln: T. Horn (c) - Wolf, Mere, Czichos, J. Horn - Skhiri, Meyer - Rexhbecaj, Duda, Jakobs - Dennis
Out: Andersson (knee), Bornauw (back)
Doubtful: Kainz (match fitness)
Coach: Markus Gisdol

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
