Kiel – The second round in DFB Cup leads Bundesliga team Holstein Kiel on Tuesday evening at 8:45 p.m. to second division team 1. FC Köln. Somehow a topsy-turvy world for the storks, because they enter the encounter as the “favorites”. Things aren’t going so well for the billy goats in the lower house of football. With four defeats from ten games, they are only in twelfth place. The guests are one class higher in the penultimate place in the table. The cup game will also be a bit forward-looking for the Schleswig-Holstein team. If they are eliminated, the wind is likely to blow a little harder on the coast.
Youngster makes debut
For Phil Harres It was a warm breath of debut last weekend in the championship game at VfB Stuttgart. The 22-year-old made his first league appearance and was allowed to play the last ten minutes. “It was very special, my first Bundesliga game and I didn’t expect it at first, but it was very overwhelming in front of the backdrop, very nice.”
“We want to get the win”
Last summer, Harres came from the regional league team FC Homburg and is hoping for another assignment, now in Cologne. The youngster says confidently: “We want to get the win and advance one round in the cup. We’re looking forward to the game – it’s always something special in the cup, even in front of a big crowd.”

Failures of storks
Marcel Rapp has to do without Andu Kelati, Alexander Bernhardsson, Lewis Holtby and Carl Johansson. A win would be very important for the coach. However, he doesn’t see his team as favorites, even if it is like that on paper.
