Eintracht Frankfurt Form
Eintracht Frankfurt sit seventh on 38 points. Although the Frankfurt club had been pushing for European qualification, it is now fair to say they are unlikely to get there, and the team clearly lack consistency as well. Albert Riera's side alternate wins with dropped points. At the same time, despite a fairly high position in the table, the club have conceded a lot this season – 51 goals, and by this metric they are among the three worst in the league. However, the situation has improved noticeably of late: in three of the last four matches, the team have managed to keep a clean sheet.
In 13 games at their home ground in the 2025/26 season, the hosts have recorded seven wins (two draws, four defeats).
Eintracht Frankfurt have scored in their last 10 home Bundesliga matches.
The club have not conceded more than one goal in five of their previous seven league matches.
Potential Eintracht Frankfurt Lineup (3-5-2)
Kauan Santos – Rasmus Kristensen, Robin Koch, Aurele Amenda – Mario Goetze, Ritsu Doan, Hugo Larsson, Nathaniel Brown, Jean-Matteo Bahoya – Arnaud Kalimuendo, Ayoub Amaimouni-Eshguayab.
Defenders Rasmus Kristensen, Arthur Theate and Elias Baum, as well as forwards Ansgar Knauff, Jonathan Burkardt, Younes Ebnautalib and Michy Batshuayi, plus midfielder Can Uzun, are unavailable due to injury.
Koln Form
Lukas Kwasniok's men are 15th and have every chance of finishing the season in the relegation zone (the club are only two points clear of it). Koln are also winless in seven straight league matches (three draws, four defeats), and they have managed just two away wins all season, both by the narrowest of margins. Despite those results, the club have scored in 12 consecutive matches. Koln also concede frequently and in volume: for example, in their last seven matches they have not kept a clean sheet even once, conceding 15 goals across that run.
In 13 home matches this season, the team have recorded two wins (four draws, seven defeats).
The club have conceded in nine straight league matches.
Both teams to score has landed in six of Koln's last seven Bundesliga matches.
Potential Koln Lineup (3-4-3)
Marvin Schwabe – Sebastian Sebulonsen, Cenk Ozkacar, Kristoffer Lunn Hansen – Pascal Schmidt, Jan Thielmann, Tom Krauss, Eric Martel – Marius Bulter, Jakub Kaminski, Ragnar Ache.
Defenders Luca-Jannis Kilian, Timo Hubers and Dimitrios Giannoulis are in the treatment room.
