Eintracht Frankfurt team overview
Eintracht Frankfurt came to this season after a great one last year, when they finished 3rd. This season, the popular Eagles were atrocious in the Champions League, finishing the competition in 33rd place out of 36 teams. They weren't much better in the Bundesliga either, but after being eliminated from the CL and a coaching change in early February, they started playing much better. Now, they are in 7th place with 38 points and are only looking to stay there, which will most likely secure them a place in Europe.
Central defender Nnamdi Collins and winger Jean-Matteo Bahoya suffered injuries in the previous game against Mainz and will most likely miss the upcoming match. On the positive side, the team's captain, Robin Koch, served his one-game suspension and will be ready.
Moreover, Kaua Santos and Rasmus Kristensen should remain sidelined with their injuries.

FC Koln team overview
FC Köln were relegated from the Bundesliga in 2023/24 and returned the following season instantly. This year, despite coming from Bundesliga 2, we expected them to be closer to the middle of the table. And indeed, they did fairly well for most of the season. Unfortunately, they were atrocious over the past two months, failing to win in the previous seven matches. Now, they are in 15th place with 26 points from 27 matches - just two points away from the relegation play-off and five points away from direct relegation.
That terrible two-month stretch resulted in sacking coach Lukas Kwasnio during the international break and appointing René Wagner as a caretaker manager. The match against Eintracht Frankfurt will be his debut.
Defensive midfielder Eric Martel received a red card in the previous game and will serve his one-game suspension. His absence is undoubtedly a massive blow for the team, considering he might be their best player this season. Moreover, the players who missed the previous games due to injury should remain sidelined: Joel Schmied, Tom Krauss, Luca Kilian, Timo Hubers, and Alessio Castro-Montes.

Prediction
Eintracht Frankfurt have had solid results since the arrival of the new head coach, losing only twice in seven matches, with one of the losses coming against Bayern Munich. Also, at home, the Eagles won three straight matches while keeping a clean sheet every time.
FC Köln are currently on a seven-game winless run. Also, the Billy Goats have been on the road throughout the season, but lately really struggled, winning one point in the past four matches.
Moreover, the Eagles won the first H2H game this season. Considering all the above, we believe that Eintracht Frankfurt should secure a comfortable win over struggling FC Köln.
4 Reasons why Eintracht Frankfurt should win
- Eintracht Frankfurt have won the past three home games
- FC Köln haven't won in the past seven games
- FC Köln have won one point in the past four road matches
- Eintracht Frankfurt won the first H2H game this season
