The Bundesliga match between 1. FC Köln and TSG 1899 Hoffenheim will take place on Sunday (19.30/DAZN) as planned.

“A lot of people have been trying to get the game rescheduled. But it won’t. Whether it will be a disadvantage that we play again on Sunday, we will see when the game is over,” Cologne coach Steffen Baumgart said after his side’s 1-0 Conference League win at 1 FC Slovacko of the Czech Republic on Friday.

The original match had been abandoned after a short time on Thursday evening due to fog and rescheduled for Friday. Because the regeneration time for the next game is so short, Baumgart had pleaded for a postponement, with the coming Monday being discussed. Hoffenheim also declared themselves ready for talks and “cooperative”, as head coach André Breitenreiter explained. “At some point, some smart people have determined that it is enough if there are 48 hours between two games, Baumgart said. “We will see who are the freshest guys on Sunday. “
