Eintracht Frankfurt vs Cologne Live Stats & Betting Odds
Eintracht Frankfurt Prediction – Can Frankfurt break out of slump?
Wednesday night’s hosts, Eintracht Frankfurt, have lost 3 of their last 4 matches overall in all competitions which include Bundesliga defeats to Mainz and Schalke as well as a Europa League loss to Portuguese outfit, Vitoria Guimaraes, but this didn’t prevent the German club from progressing through to the next stage of the competition.
With Europa League duties done for the time being, Eintracht Frankfurt will now turn their attentions to the business of moving back up the Bundesliga table as the hosts currently occupy a disappointing 12th place in the domestic top flight and have now gone 5 matches without a win.
The hosts have suffered 4 defeats out of these last 5 matches which has left them in the bottom half of the Bundesliga but they do possess a valuable 6-point cushion above the relegation zone, and they also hold a solid record at home too.
An overall home record of 4-3-1 17/10 includes just 1 defeat to Wolfsburg but also victories over Hoffenheim, Fortuna Dusseldorf, Bayer Leverkusen and most impressive of all, a 5-1 trashing of Bayern Munich.
Cologne Prediction – Can Cologne register back-to-back wins?
A 2-0 home win against high-flying Bayer Leverkusen was a much needed tonic for Cologne and manager Markus Gisdol as the visitors had endured a worrying 6-match sequence without a win in the German top flight, and one that included 5 defeats.
Recent losses to Mainz, Fortuna Dusseldorf, Hoffenheim, RB Leipzig and Union Berlin had meant that Cologne were left anchored in the bottom two of the Bundesliga, and even though they recorded a desperate win last time out, the visitors still occupy a bottom two spot in the division.
Cologne now face a tricky trip to face a stubborn Eintracht Frankfurt in their own backyard, and despite their recent problems, Frankfurt look a different proposition when on home turf at their Commerzbank-Arena.
The visitors possess a poor away record that stands at 1-1-6 6/19 and they also hold the third worst defensive record away from home in the Bundesliga as well as losing their last 4 matches on the trot on their travels.
Key-Facts – Eintracht Frankfurt vs Cologne
- Eintracht Frankfurt have lost just 1 of their 8 matches at home this season
- Eintracht Frankfurt have lost just 3 of their last 17 matches at home
