Cologne will be wanting a better result here following a 3-1 Bundesliga losing effort in their last game against Borussia Mönchengladbach.

In that match, Cologne had 64% possession and 19 shots on goal with 5 on target. The only player to score for Cologne was Luca Waldschmidt (92'). Borussia Monchengladbach had 9 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target. Philipp Sander (45'), Kevin Diks (61') and Haris Tabaković (64') scored for Borussia Mönchengladbach.

It’s not been often in recent games that Cologne have shown defensive steel. In fact, Cologne have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, giving up 10 goals in the process. That trend isn’t assured to be carried forward into this next game, though.

Looking at the pre-match facts, Cologne:

• have not been beaten in the league by Eintracht Frankfurt in their previous 6 matches.
• are undefeated in their previous 2 home league matches.

📰 Team News: Cologne

We think that Köln will possibly use a 3-4-2-1 system this time, beginning the first half with Marvin Schwaebe, Joel Schmied, Eric Martel, Cenk Ozkacar, Sebastian Sebulonsen, I. B. Johannesson, Denis Huseinbasic, K. Lund Hansen, Florian Kainz, Jakub Kaminski and Said El Mala.

ℹ️ Team News: Eintracht Frankfurt

We believe Eintracht seem most likely to make use of a 4-2-3-1 system, settling for Michael Zetterer, Rasmus Kristensen, Robin Koch, Arthur Theate, Nathaniel Brown, Ellyes Skhiri, Fares Chaibi, Ritsu Doan, Mario Goetze, Ansgar Knauff and Jonathan Burkardt.

🔮 Prediction

We believe that Eintracht Frankfurt have the ability to have the majority of the possession and should turn some of their chances into goals.

Conversely, Cologne will be up against it to score but we do see them managing to get on the scoresheet here.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a controlled 1-3 win for Eintracht Frankfurt at full-time.
