Dimitrio Limnios is still on the mend from an ACL injury. Simon Terrode and Danny Latza both missed last weekend's cup win with muscle problems.
Schalke have lost their last 7 away matches (Bundesliga). There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 5 of FC Koln's last 6 games (Bundesliga). FC Koln are undefeated in their last 7 matches against Schalke in all competitions.
Promoted Schalke take on Koln, who punched massively above their weight last season to qualify for the Europa Conference League. Koln have not lost to Schalke in eight matches, but the honours could be shared here in Sunday action. 1:1
