Eintracht Frankfurt vs Cologne Predictions

• Frankfurt have a better goal difference than the three teams above them and could move above each of those clubs with a win on Wednesday night.
• Cologne could move out of the relegation zone with a win of their own at Frankfurt.
• Frankfurt have had the better of Cologne over the last few years.
• Both teams head into Wednesday’s clash in equally poor form.

The hosts have a good home record this season

Frankfurt have won four of their last six meetings with Cologne and three of the pairs’ last four encounters have ended in a win-to-nil. Under 2.5 goals have been scored in three of the duos’ last four meetings. Both teams head into the game having won one, drawn one, and lost four of their last six matches in all competitions.

Frankfurt have only lost once at home this season, winning four of those eight matches while Cologne have lost six of their eight away games and have won just once on the road, so you can see why we have backed the hosts to claim all three points on Wednesday night. Frankfurt average 1.88 points per home game and Cologne average 0.50 points per away game, which adds further weight to our prediction for a home win.

Frankfurt score an average of 2.13 goals per home game and concede an average of 1.25 goals and Cologne score an average of 0.75 goals per away game and concede an average of 2.38 goals, which coincides with our prediction for a 2-0 final scoreline. Frankfurt have kept clean sheets in 25% of their home games and Cologne are yet to keep a single clean sheet on the road.

Cologne have failed to impress on the road

Frankfurt have won-to-nil in 25% of their home games and Cologne have lost-to-nil in 38% of their away games, providing another reason to back a 2-0 win for Frankfurt on Wednesday night. Frankfurt have only failed to score in 12% of their home games while Cologne have failed to score in 38% of their away games. Exactly 2 goals have been scored in 38% of Cologne’s away games and a majority of Cologne’s defeats this season (7) have had a margin of 2 goals or more, which is why we have backed a 2-0 win for Frankfurt.

We’re confident that Frankfurt will win on Wednesday and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-0. Frankfurt have been at their strongest at home this season while Cologne have undoubtedly struggled on the road and we can’t see Wednesday’s clash anding in anything but a home win for Frankfurt.
