But the Cologne team has already caused one or two surprises this season and with a win with more than one self-scored goal, they could make clear the direct relegation. That Friedhelm Funkel's team can also beat tough opponents was last shown in mid-April when they beat RB Leipzig * 2-1. However, it was difficult against equal opponents from the lower table region. Should the Effzeh not hold the class, this would mean the seventh Bundesliga relegation for the traditional club *.
