Eintracht Frankfurt vs FC Koln Prediction & Betting tips
Eintracht Frankfurt and FC Köln face each other in this midweek round. What can we expect from this competition?
Eintracht Frankfurt:
Eintracht Frankfurt lost a Bundesliga match for the seventh time this season last Sunday. That Adler was not inferior to Schalke 04. Defensively, both teams were better than offensive. After a red card for Schalke, Frankfurt had a numerical advantage in the end of the game, but it was illustrative that they did not do much with it. Eintracht has no team that is full of creative players. In the end, Gelsenkirchen lost 1-0. Frankfurt scored only one point out of the last five league matches.
Frankfurt is also a lot less moderate in the Europa League than last year. The knock-out phase was achieved by hanging and strangling. In February RB Salzburg is the opponent, and in its current form it will be a difficult task for Die SGE to reach the eighth finals. Although, of course, much can change in two months. Trainer Adi Hütter could choose to give fresh powers the chance on Wednesday. There are possibilities to rotate without sacrificing a lot of quality.
1. FC Köln:
FC Köln recorded a victory in the previous round of the Bundesliga that was in great demand. In the home game against Bayer Leverkusen, a fighting Köln took the full booty (2-0). The victory was not only important because of the three points, but also because of the prestige. Fans in the derby against the wealthier neighbor is always high on the wish list for the fans. Köln is number seventeen in the ranking, with a three-point deficit in safe fifteenth place.
“We must preserve the positive things from the match against Leverkusen, such as the intensive running and the creation of opportunities,” said trainer Markus Gisdol at Monday’s press conference. “Those basic things helped us.” The coach had to form a line-up without former PEC Zwolle-player Kingsley Ehizibue. The right back got its fifth yellow card of the season on Saturday and is therefore suspended for a game. Marcel Risse is missing due to an injury.
