The 1. FC Köln women host RB Leipzig at the Franz-Kremer-Stadion on Monday, November 9, 2026, at 18:00 CET, concluding the ninth matchday of the Frauen-Bundesliga, as fussball-wm.pro reported. Referee Nadine Westerhoff oversees the fixture.
Köln enters the fixture in sixth place with 12 points, sitting two spots and two points ahead of ninth-placed Leipzig, according to fussball-wm.pro. Both clubs enter the match with four wins and four losses across their opening eight league fixtures.
Across their last five matches in all competitions, both teams have recorded three victories and two defeats. Köln has scored 13 goals and conceded 12 in the league so far, while Leipzig has found the net 14 times. The hosts have not yet played to a single draw in the league this season.
Köln secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Leipzig in the DFB-Pokal in late October 2026, courtesy of a goal by Paulina Bremer, as detailed by wettfreunde.net. In seven historical direct encounters across all competitions, Leipzig holds four wins to Köln’s three, with a goal difference of 10 to 7 in favor of the team from Saxony, and no draw having ever occurred between them.
In the Frauen-Bundesliga table, Köln boasts a strong home record with nine points from four matches, scoring seven goals and conceding two, according to wettbasis.com. Meanwhile, Leipzig has struggled on the road, collecting just four points from four away fixtures with six goals for and six against.
In broader competitive terms, Köln’s home record stands at three wins and one loss, whereas Leipzig has managed one victory, one draw, and two losses from four matches away from home.
Köln manager Britta Carlson, who took charge in January 2025, prefers a 3-5-2 formation and must replace injured regular Sophie Nachtigall, wettbasis.com reported. Leipzig coach Jonas Stephan, who arrived in July 2024, typically deploys a 4-4-2 setup.
Leipzig travels without several key performers, including Emilia Asgeirsdottir, Lou-Ann Joly, and Annabel Schasching, as wettbasis.com noted. Asgeirsdottir’s absence deprives the visiting midfield of a player directly involved in four goals this campaign.
Bookmakers and analysts point toward a low-scoring affair based on recent history. wettfreunde.net highlighted that the last three direct encounters between the clubs produced a total of just four goals, with each match ending in a 1-0 clean sheet.
Analysts suggest a wager on under 2.5 total goals, pointing to Leipzig’s recent offensive struggles and Köln’s defensive organization at home. Artificial intelligence models featured on wettfreunde.net estimate a 46.24 percent win probability for Köln, alongside a 26.01 percent chance for a draw and 27.75 percent for a Leipzig victory.
