RB Leipzig hosts 1. FC Köln in a pivotal Bundesliga showdown as they battle for crucial league points on the cusp of the season's business end. Leipzig, currently unbeaten in their last five league matches, will aim to maintain their momentum against Köln's resurgent form, which has seen them secure two wins in their last three outings. Julian Borner's Köln defense will face a significant test against Leipzig's high-octane strike duo, Christopher Nkunku and Andre Silva.
