Match preview

I'm backing both teams to score in this DFB Pokal tie on 27 October 2026 at 22:45. Cologne sit in mid-table after a sluggish start to their season, but they've steadied themselves at home with six consecutive matches without defeat. Union Berlin clawed back from a disastrous opening—just one point in their first four rounds—and have now strung together four unbeaten matches, though two of those were draws. The head-to-head record between them is tight: their most recent meeting ended 2-2, and I expect another open game here.
