Cologne preview: Struggling Koln
Cologne begin this weekend's round of fixtures sitting just one spot and a couple of points outside of the bottom three and the relegation playoff place with an indifferent recent run of form of late.
The hosts' most recent outing, a 2-2 draw with Eintracht Frankfurt last weekend, was their third successive draw and means that they are now winless in their last eight matches since beating a poor Wolfsburg side in late-January.
Werder Bremen preview: Still in danger
They now face a Werder Bremen side that begin the 29th match day of the 2025/26 Bundesliga campaign sitting just a point ahead of Cologne with two defeats in their last three matches either side of the international break.
Werder most recently succumbed to a 2-1 defeat at home to RB Leipzig at Weserstadion last weekend due to goals from Antonio Nusa and Romulo before a consolation scored by Salim Musah in second-half stoppage-time.

Cologne vs Werder Bremen prediction
Werder have been generally stronger throughout this campaign than a Cologne side that only returned to the Bundesliga last season. In what is a very exciting and entertaining league, these are two of the more reactive teams and, both nervy with St Pauli chasing them this weekend, albeit against Bayern Munich, a low-scoring encounter seems a good bet as the tension takes over on Sunday afternoon.
Cologne vs Werder Bremen tip: Under 2.5 goals
