In his press conference before the Köln game on Tuesday, Union Berlin coach Nenad Bjelica reinstated the importance of this six-pointer in the relegation battle.

When referring to Köln's playing style, Bjelica said: "Köln is a team that presses a lot, seeks duels and is strong in running."

When speaking about how the team can win, Bjelica said: "If we manage to be better in these areas, we have a good chance of winning. For this, we have to show commitment and the right willingness."

The newly appointed head coach also went on to state that the players are motivated to make the fans happy in one last home game before the break.


The kick-off time for the game is 17:30 GMT this evening and the match will be available via Sky Sports Mix. Alternatively, you can watch the new Sky Sports creation Goal Arena (which will show the goals of all five games live tomorrow) here.
