Bundesliga 2025-2026: Leipzig-Cologne, the likely lineups

The fourth day of the Bundesliga features the confrontation between Leipzig and Cologne. Kickoff is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. at the Red Bull Arena. The hosts come to the fixture on the strength of two consecutive victories, the last of which came against Mainz. Cologne, on the other hand, broke their winning streak with a spectacular draw against Wolfsburg, which ended at 3-3.

Werner must do without the injured Nusa: Diomande and Bakayoko will be the outside attackers, with Romulo in the middle. Seiwald in the midfield booth, defense headed by the Orban-Lukeba pair.

Kwasniok relies on Bulter in attack, with Kaminski and Maina in support in the three-quarter. Sebulonsen and Lund outside midfield, while the backline will be led by Hubers.

Lipsia (4-1-2-3): Gulacsi; R. Baku, Orban, Lukeba, Raum; Seiwald; Banzuzi, Baumgartner; Bakayoko, Romulo, Diomande. All. Werner

Cologne (3-4-2-1): Schwäbe; Schmied, Hübers, Krauss; Sebulonsen, Johannesson, Martel, Lund; Kaminski, Maina; Bülter. All. Kwasniok
