Eintracht Frankfurt
Eintracht Frankfurt fights for Europe, but they are a totally unreliable side that rarely connects good performances this season.
They lost to Mainz 2-1 in the last round and are six points behind Europe before the start of this round. They are going through many ups and downs, and don’t seem like a good side for Europe to me, perhaps good enough for the Conference League, but we will see.
The only good thing to point out is their recent excellent home run. Eintracht Frankfurt won three in a row at home, and a win here is a must. Köln is a miserable side, so Eintracht Frankfurt must find a way to record their fourth straight home win.
However, Eintracht Frankfurt have beaten Köln only once in the last six duels, 3-4 in their first duel earlier this season.
Köln
Köln’s terrible run of seven games without a victory puts them in serious relegation danger. Their latest 3-3 draw against bottom rivals Borussia Mönchengladbach was the final straw for the board, who sacked coach Lukas Kwasniok.
Assistant coach Rene Wagner takes over on an interim basis until the end of the season, and he has seven games to save Köln from dropping out. His team is only two points above the bottom three before this round, so it will be a very difficult job.
Köln not only loses games, but they also concede a lot. They allowed two or more goals in six of their last seven winless Bundesliga matches.
Defensive midfielder and captain, Eric Martel (2 goals, 2 assists in 25 games), got sent off in the last draw and is now suspended for this match.
The Betting Verdict
Both sides have their motives, and I would side with Eintracht Frankfurt here, although they are unreliable.
Eintracht Frankfurt tend to underperform when they are favourites, but chasing Europe and facing a shaky side in a winless form and without a coach looks like an ideal opportunity for them to win at good odds.
