Koln goalkeeper Faryd Mondragon wants to put last weekend's defeat to Mainz out of his system by grabbing a derby-day success against Borussia Monchengladbach on Friday evening.

The defeat infuriated coach Zvonimir Soldo and the veteran shot-stopper wants his team-mates to make amends in the crunch clash and ease their relegation fears.

"It is the game of the year for the club, the fans and obviously for us," Mondragon told his club's official website.

"We need these points and have got to put Mainz right behind us and concentrate on the derby. Now is the right time to get three points so that we can carry on working in peace and quiet.

"In this one game, we can make good a lot of what we have done badly this season.

"For the atmosphere in the city, in the club and also in the dressing room, the three points would be very, very important."
