Personnel
Head coach Pellegrino Matarazzo made three changes to the starting line-up that drew 2-2 at VfL Wolfsburg: the suspended John Anthony Brooks was replaced by Florian Grillitsch, while Robert Skov and Ihlas Bebou began in place of Anton Stach and Andrej Kramarić.

TSG Hoffenheim went into the matchday in eighth position with 26 points, while Köln had 15 points on the board and were in 16th position – the relegation play-off place.
Moment of the match
The goal for 1-1: Andrej Kramarić levelled the scores in the fourth minute of stoppage time and rescued a point for TSG.
Number of the game: 1
TSG have only managed to avoid conceding in one game this season – Hoffenheim have been waiting 16 matches for a clean sheet.
Debut of the day

Match highlights
Bebou spurns chance for opener
Bebou gets the ball following a move involving Beier and Weghorst. The striker sidesteps Finkgräfe and then fires only narrowly wide of Marvin Schwäbe’s goal.
Weghorst fires over the bar
The chance to take the lead: Skov picks out Weghorst in the box, who fires over the crossbar on the turn. That could’ve been it!
Skov’s shot blocked
That should’ve been 1-0: Bebou cuts into the penalty area and squares the ball to Skov, but a Köln defender throws himself into the path of the Dane’s shot and thwarts the danger.
Köln take the lead
Max Finkgräfe strikes a free-kick from around 30 metres perfectly over the wall and into the net.
Kramaric restores parity
Sometimes it has to be by hook or by crook! A long ball into the box, Kabak heads into the middle and Kramaric feints before firing home unstoppably.
