1. FC Küln vs TSG Hoffenheim

Sat 29 Aug 2026 ü 15:30 CEST · RheinEnergieStadion, Cologne
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 Ljubici?'s set-piece quality give them a fighting chance, while Pedersen's corner delivery is underrated.
