So far, the danger of scoring has only arisen after major errors in the build-up to the game. As a result, both teams are not yet able to complete their playful elements.

After a setup mistake by the Cologne team, things happened very quickly. The ball reaches Kössler via Cerci, who passes it one station further. Then it is Dominika Grabowska who finishes centrally in front of the goal from 17 meters with her left. The shot flies towards the right post, but Josefine Osigus is alert and can catch the shot out of the air.

Now Laura Dick has to intervene for the first time. After the goalkeeper misses a shot, the ball comes to Taylor Ziemer, who tries to finish from the half-left position around five meters in front of the box. However, her shot is neither hard nor precise enough, so Dick has no problems holding onto the bullet.

Anna Gerhardt plays a great flying ball from the left-back position to Vanessa Leimenstoll on the right offensive side. The Cologne player wants to take the ball with her chest and pull it into the penalty area. Shortly before the attacker can seek closure, Lisa Doorn is able to clarify the situation.

In the early stages, TSG is primarily geared towards possession of the ball. Theodoros Dedes’ players want to take control of the game and let the ball run through their own ranks. However, the offensive urge is very manageable.

Effzeh has been waiting for a win against the Kraichgauer women for four games. Last season, TSG won the away game in Cologne 2-1. In the second leg there was a division of points after a 1-1 draw. 1. FC Köln’s last success against TSG Hoffenheim was on September 18, 2022, when they won 3-1. However, Mandy Islacker, who scored twice, and Sharon Beck are no longer active for the hosts. The consolation goal was scored around two years ago by Melissa Kössler, who will lead the guests onto the field as captain today.

Compared to the 0-1 defeat against FC Bayern last week, Daniel Weber unsurprisingly made no changes and has the same eleven women playing. As a result, the 4-3-3 system remains. Theodoros Dedes also sees no need to make a change after the 1-0 win against Werder Bremen, so there are no changes for the guests either. TSG will operate from a 4-4-2 formation.
13:20
The guests from Sinsheim have so far collected five points more and have a total of six points. After the opening win against SGS Essen, three defeats followed in a row before they won 1-0 against SV Werder Bremen the previous week. TSG has also already played against FC Bayern. However, Theodoros Dedes’ team lost the game 1:5. They also lost to second-placed Leverkusen, although the result was much closer at 1:2. Similar to the Cologne women, the Kraichgauer women have not yet played against a club from the bottom of the table. This now changes with the match against Effzeh.
13:09
Although 1. FC Köln only has one point to their name, the table is a little misleading. After five games, the Cologne women have already played against the reigning champions from Munich and the DFB Cup winners from Wolfsburg. While they were defeated 5-1 against VfL Wolfsburg, Daniel Weber’s team put in a fighting performance against FC Bayern the previous week, which is why the Munich team was on the verge of losing a point. With TSG we now face the weakest team in the table so far this season. Effzeh was able to draw against SGS Essen, which is in seventh place and one place ahead of Sinsheim.

Hello and welcome to the sixth matchday of the Women’s Bundesliga. 1. FC Köln welcomes TSG 1899 Hoffenheim to the Franz Kremer Stadium.
