Eintracht Frankfurt, Recent FormEintracht Frankfurt manager Dino Toppmöller will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Mainz 05. Their share of possession in that meeting was 60%, while racking up 7 shots along the way, 1 of which were on target, in contrast to Mainz 05, who had 12 shots on goal with 6 on target.
When it comes to attacking power Toppmöller will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 10 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 7 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games.
They have been performing well at Deutsche Bank Park recently and are unbeaten in their last 11 home games.
On an individual basis, Randal Kolo Muani has scored in each of Eintracht Frankfurt's last 5 league games at Deutsche Bank Park.
Cologne, Recent FormCologne will not be too troubled by their 2-1 home defeat against Wolfsburg, given the latter currently sit 14 places further up the league table than they do. In that game they had 49% possession and managed 13 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Wolfsburg who had 9 attempts and 6 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 10 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 9 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have failed to record a clean sheet in their last 10 games.
With 3 defeats and just 2 wins from their last 6 outings, this cannot be regarded as a good run of form.
With 4 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Cologne, Davie Selke will be looking to add more goals against Eintracht Frankfurt in this match.
Eintracht Frankfurt will be looking to forget their last league encounter with Cologne, when a slew of goals ended in a heavy 3-0 defeat.
Eintracht have scored in each of their last 8 games at home in the league against Die Geißböcke.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 2 occasions that these 2 sides have met at Deutsche Bank Park in the league, but Eintracht will take some small comfort in being unbeaten in their last 3 meetings there.
Eintracht manager Dino Toppmöller has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Lucas Alario (Knee), Makoto Hasebe (Illness), Mehdi Loune (Cruciate ligament), Jessic Ngankam (Knee) and Sebastian Rode (Calf) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Steffen Baumgart has a number of injury concerns in his Cologne squad to contend with: Florian Dietz (Knee), Noah Katterbach (Cruciate ligament), Eric Martel (Knock), Davie Selke (Hamstring), Jan Thielmann (Knee) and Mark Uth (Muscle)
