There's very little to grab onto here. Yes, the team had a decent pre-season and made a reasonable start in the third division, but that still isn't enough given the gap in class. Würzburger can score - recent matches back that up - and that's where the main opportunity lies: if they find their moment, things could get interesting. Cologne are clearly stronger on paper, but they're far from flawless over a long run, and that run hasn't even started for them yet.

Cologne Team Overview
The club had a modest pre-season, playing just three friendlies and winning two of them. A schedule that light could work against them, as match sharpness matters. Köln may well field their strongest XI here to build fitness quickly. There is also the question of their defensive play, which still has issues, while the attack remains effective. Köln clearly need to find some balance this season.
