We'll see.
Recent developments on both sides
Union Berlin debuted in the Bundesliga in 19/20, and in their first season they were only 11th in the league, but in the following season they frantically introduced players to stay in the Bundesliga, of which Avoni, Haraguchi, Rani Khedira and Baumgart were all key players in the team. They are 7th in the Bundesliga this season and can be said to be positioned as Leicester city or Wolves in the Bundesliga.
And the reason why the Cologne side has been able to achieve such a good result this season is something you would never have thought! Before the start of this season, the team ushered in the return of loan striker Modeste, and he seemed to have a second spring in the Bundesliga, last season 8 appearances without success, he made 26 appearances this season to contribute 15 goals and 1 assist super god level performance, one person carried the output of the whole team, but it is because of the excessive dependence on this player, Cologne also has a lot of problems after his absence, Mark Utter, Cainz, and Anderson are difficult to bear the burden of output firepower, Their offense could be a problem in this game.
Race conditions

After the game
As the biggest contributor to the goal of the game, Awonyi's 15 million euro striker can be said to have played quite well, and after last year's permanent transfer from Liverpool to Join Union Berlin for 6.5 million euros, the 24-year-old has scored 15 goals in 35 appearances in all competitions, and this outstanding performance has also attracted the attention of Premier League teams, including Newcastle, West Ham United and Southampton, who have made offers for this player. Liverpool, on the other hand, are waiting to get rich! Because they had previously added a 10% sale share clause when they sold their players, this uncertain decision could bring Liverpool a lot of money.
