Tucked snuggly in mid-table FC Köln is level with Werder Bremen at thirteen points and apparently quite comfortable after being promoted to the Bundesliga. As they go toe-to-toe against die Roten at the Neckarstadion Saturday afternoon, there is a sense of irony to the match as their return to the top-flight of German Football is [...]
