Neither side has form on their side, but we\u2019re backing Die Adler to return to winning ways on home soil.<\/p>\n
Eintracht Frankfurt vs FC Koln Betting Predictions<\/p>\n
All odds are courtesy of bet365, correct at the time of publishing and subject to change.<\/p>\n
A home victory to return to winning form<\/p>\n
They may have lost their previous game, but there\u2019s no doubt that Eintracht Frankfurt are favourites as they host Koln. They won 4-3 in the reverse fixture back in November, and currently sit eight places above them in the Bundesliga table. Over the last six games, only two teams have accumulated fewer points than Die Gei\u00dfb\u00f6cke. As a result, the home side will fancy their chances.<\/p>\n
Die Adler have had their fair share of injury problems, with Kaua Santos, Nnamdi Collins, Rasmus Kristensen, and Jean-Matteo Bahoya amongst their absentees. Robin Koch will return from suspension, though, and Ansgar Knauff could be back in the XI. Koln also have plenty of players unavailable, but their most recent setback is Eric Martel\u2019s suspension following his red card against Borussia Monchengladbach.<\/p>\n
There could be significant consequences for both sides if they lose this one at both ends of the table. Frankfurt require a victory to maintain their fading hopes of European qualification, and we expect them to do so. The visitors could slip closer to the relegation zone if they\u2019re defeated.<\/p>\n
Expect goals at Deutsche Bank Park<\/p>\n
Previous matches between these two teams have consistently produced goals, and we\u2019re expecting a similar outcome this time around. Of their last 12 meetings, eight of them saw both teams score – and their November game resulted in a seven-goal thriller.<\/p>\n
No team in the Bundesliga has been involved in more BTTS games than Koln (20), and Frankfurt aren\u2019t far behind them (18). There\u2019s plenty of reason to expect action at both ends of the pitch as 7th faces 15th.<\/p>\n
For both teams, their games have averaged over three goals, and neither defence has been particularly reliable. Considering the high stakes for both clubs, we expect an intensely competitive match in which both teams will seek to attack constantly.<\/p>\n
