Cologne's return to the Bundesliga sees them host Hoffenheim in a classic promoted-club opener at the atmospheric RheinEnergieStadion. Hoffenheim arrive as 5th-placed finishers last season with Kramari? (14 goals at 34) still leading the line. Cologne's Tigges (14 goals in the second division) and Ljubiči?'s set-piece quality give them a fighting chance, while Pedersen's corner delivery is underrated. Akpoguma's 10 yellow cards make him the standout card pick in this fixture.
