Match preview
Having worked so hard to get back into Europe last season, FC Köln are desperate to ensure this isn’t a one-stop continental tour.
Last season, Steffen Baumgart’s side snuck into seventh in the Bundesliga, only finishing higher than that once in 30 years.
So, die Geißböcke are back in UEFA competition for the first time since 2017, when they featured in the Europa League group phase.
Köln have four points on the board in the Bundesliga, drawing 2-2 with RB Leipzig on Saturday having beaten Schalke on the opening weekend.
So, they’ll come into this tie full of confidence.
Visitors MOL Fehérvár have already had to win two ties to get this far, hammering Gabala and then Petrocub Hîncești 5-3 and 7-1 on aggregate.
The Hungarian club were last involved in a group stage in 2018, and are going to have to cause a big upset in this tie to get to one again.
Will Köln be too strong at RheinEnergieStadion?
