FC Koln vs Eintracht Frankfurt Match Preview

FC Koln is ranked at 9th place with 32 points and comes after two wins a draw and two losses over the last five matches. It has been an average season for them as they have always been quite distant from the relegation zone and could even aim for a spot in the Conference League for next season.

With 34 goals scored so far, they have shown a very good offensive side. In the last five matches, they have scored a total of seven goals averaging more than a goal per game while managing to find the back of the net at least once on four occasions. Only in the loss against league leaders of Bayern Munich, they failed to score a goal.

Modeste should be back from his injury and considering he is their best scorer with 14 goals I expect some change upfront with him. Also, Uth who is an important player in midfield with 3 goals - 3 assists is expected to play from the start this time after playing only 29 mins in the last game.

Eintracht Frankfurt, on the other hand, is ranked at 10th place with 31 points and comes in poor form after a single win a draw, and three losses over the last five matches. They are struggling to find some consistency and this did not allow them to be ranked higher in order to compete for a spot in Europa League for next season which is their main goal.

With 33 goals they have shown a decent offensive side but a lot more is expected by them considering all the quality they have. In the last five matches, they scored a total of six goals averaging a goal per game while managing to find the back of the net in three outings.

For them, Borre 6 goals - 4 assists and Kostic 3 goals - 7 assists are leading the attack and both are expected to start here.

In conclusion, I think both teams can score at least a goal in this one. FC Koln has got to try and make use of the fact that they play in front of their fans in a direct duel like this. They scored in four of the last five games across all competitions. Eintracht Frankfurt needs to bounce back after their recent loss and considering their rivals failed to keep a clean sheet in four of the last five league games I fancy them to score once now.
