On May 12, 2023, Friday, 1. FC Cologne will have Hertha BSC in Cologne on the 32nd matchday of the Germany Bundesliga. Fans at home and in the RheinEnergieStadion will be able to watch Sven Jablonski blow the opening whistle for this league game at 6:30 PM UTC.
Cologne will want to win again against Bayer Leverkusen, this time by a score of 1-2 in the Bundesliga 1. Cologne had 36% possession in that match, 7 attempts on goal, and 5 goals. Davie Selke scored the only goal for Cologne (14′, 36′). Three of Bayer Leverkusen’s 13 shots were successful.
Amine Adli (28′) scored for Bayer Leverkusen. In recent games, Cologne has only occasionally kept a clean sheet. The fact that Cologne has conceded five goals in five of their previous six games will be cause for concern for them. Cologne hasn’t won in five league games at home before this one.
That never goes well. Hertha Berlin enters this match having defeated Stuttgart 2-1 in their most recent match in the Bundesliga 1. In that game, Hertha Berlin had 30% belonging and 7 endeavors at the objective with 3 on track. For Hertha Berlin, objectives were scored by Marc-Oliver Kempf (29′) and Florian Niederlechner (45′).

Hertha Berlin has not been very successful defensively. However, the only thing we can do now is determine whether or not that pattern will continue in the subsequent match.

Team news :
Koln will be without Benno Schmitz through suspension after the right-back accepted his fifth mindfulness of the time during his side’s triumph against Bayer Leverkusen last the end of the week, meaning the left-footed Kristian Pedersen might need to delegate on his lesser favored flank on Friday.

Kelian Nsona, on the other hand, will miss Hertha’s trip due to a long-term knee injury, and Marco Richter and Marc-Oliver Kempf,
