On Sunday, February 12, Koln will play Eintracht Frankfurt, which is fifth in the Bundesliga, at the RheinEnergieStadion.
With a goalless draw against RB Leipzig on Saturday, the hosts maintained their unbeaten start to 2023. That was Koln’s second consecutive draw without scoring.
In contrast, Frankfurt also has an unbeaten start to 2023 and is coming off a 3-0 home victory over Hertha Berlin in their previous game. Since October, they have not lost in the Bundesliga and are unbeaten in the standings.
Even though Cologne hasn’t lost in four Bundesliga games in a row, they are also on a three-game streak of draws, which makes their unbeaten streak less impressive. Still, Cologne has been playing well recently, and they are safe from relegation right now because they are still in the middle of the standings.
Meanwhile, Sebastian Andersson, Florian Dietz, David Selke, Luca Kilian, Kristian Pedersen, Dimitrios Limnios, and Mark Uth are all out with injuries for Cologne right now.
In their last seven Bundesliga games, Eintracht Frankfurt has not lost a single one, winning four of them. Frankfurt is currently fifth in the standings, just five points behind league leaders Bayern Munich, thanks to this strong run. Frankfurt will have a chance to compete for a Champions League spot in the upcoming season at the very least.
In terms of team news, both Jesper Lindstrom and Eric Dina Ebimbe are on the team’s injury list at the moment.
The Billy Goats have failed to score in their last two Bundesliga games, which have all been low-scoring affairs. They have also kept clean sheets in these two games, which is interesting. In this century, they have only lost once against visitors at home.
In their last two league games, Frankfurt has scored seven goals. Only one goal was scored in each of their last three away games.
However, they have improved in recent games and should manage a narrow victory over their northern rivals.
Prediction: Koln 1-2 Eintracht Frankfurt
Since 1953, the two teams have met 111 times at competitions. It was 41-37 Koln.
In 11 of their last 13 competitive home games against Frankfurt, Koln has scored less than 2.5 goals.
Koln has not lost a competitive home game against Frankfurt in 14 of their last 15. Since October, Frankfurt hasn’t lost on the road, drawing each of their last three contests.
Since October, Koln has won the Bundesliga only once at home. In their last six meetings, neither team has scored more than 2.5 goals, with the opposite match in August drawing 1-1. There have been fewer than 2.5 goals scored in their last five Koln meetings.
In this season’s Bundesliga, no other team has drawn more games than the hosts (8). With 40 goals in 19 games, the visitors hold the second-best attacking record in the Bundesliga.
• Randal Kolo Muani has scored six goals in his last four league and cup games • Cologne has won three of their last six games at home in the Bundesliga
