Out-of-sorts Eintracht Frankfurt are set to encounter Cologne in a handsomely-looking Bundesliga showdown at the
Eintracht Frankfurt’s 2022/23 season was off to a promising start, as they thumped second-tier Magdeburg 4-0 in the opening DFB-Pokal round. However, things have since gone south for Oliver Glasner’s side. ‘Die Adler’ have followed up a 2-0 UEFA Super Cup defeat to Real Madrid with back-to-back winless Bundesliga outings (D1, L1), including a 1-1 draw at Hertha BSC last time out. Bringing the 2021/22 season into the equation, the hosts are winless in ten successive league matches (D6, L4), last going longer without picking up a Bundesliga triumph back in 1983/84 (16). Keen to bounce back, Frankfurt can call upon their decent seven-game home Bundesliga record against Cologne (W5, D1, L1), averaging their second-best point ratio against top-flight rivals (2.4) in this timeframe.
On the other hand, Cologne could be on the verge of ruining their European dream following a shock 2-1 home defeat to MOL Fehervar in the first leg of their Europa Conference League playoff tie. By contrast, the ‘Billy Goats’ have enjoyed a stellar start to the new Bundesliga season. After thumping 10-man Schalke 3-1 on the opening weekend, Cologne hit back twice to hold RB Leipzig to a thrilling 2-2 draw last time out. Inspired by their best two-game Bundesliga start since 2016/17 (W1, D1), Steffen Baumgart’s men are looking to overcome a two-match winless league streak at Frankfurt (D1, L1) and potentially win their first competitive away win of the season following back-to-back draws.
