TV Hilpoltstein wants to annoy 1. FC Köln – game of fate in table tennis!
On Sunday, October 31, 2025, the table tennis thriller in the 2nd Bundesliga between TV Hilpoltstein and 1. FC Köln will cause a lot of excitement. The time has come at 2 p.m. and the spectators can look forward to a thrilling duel. While 1. FC Köln can look back on a mixed start to the season with just one win from four games, Hilpoltstein can now look back on a series of four games unbeaten after a dry spell of two defeats at the beginning. This puts Hilpoltstein in fourth place with 7:5 points - a reason for confidence for the team and captain Alexander Flemming.
“The league is very competitive this year,” said 1. FC Köln player-coach Gianluca Walther. In fact, the current situation shows that Cologne could start a race to catch up in seventh place, immediately after sharing points at home against Fortuna Passau. The club invested heavily before the season and signed three new signings: Tom Jarvis, Florian Bluhm and Mike Hollo. Their performances so far give reason for hope: Jarvis has impressed with 6:2, Bluhm has even impressed with 7:1 wins, while Hollo has 3:2 wins. Nevertheless, Walther and his teammate Lleyton Ullmann have difficulty maintaining their form consistently.
The challenge in the home game
The home game could be the key to stabilizing Cologne's performance. However, the double variants don't seem to be working as expected yet, which doesn't make the situation any easier for the team. Memories of last season, when Hilpoltstein won the first leg 5:5 and the second half 6:3 to secure the championship, are flashing through the mind. The people of Cologne have to prepare well in order not to lose out again.
On the other hand, Hilpoltstein has maintained its upward trend in the league. This means that the team around Flemming and Matthias Danzer is in good shape and recently showed a strong game against 1. FC Saarbrücken II, in which they defeated Dennis Klein. The advantage in the back pair cross could be a decisive factor, as Hilpoltstein can offer two extremely strong players in Martin Buch Andersen and Jan Valenta.
Young talent work in Cologne
In summary, 1. FC Cologne has a responsibility not only in the Bundesliga, but also in promoting young talent. The upcoming game against Hilpoltstein will definitely be an exciting chapter in the table tennis season. The fans can look forward to a lot of action and perhaps a turnaround for the Cologne boys!
