Eintracht Frankfurt vs 1.FC Köln - 18/12/2019
2866
Eintracht Frankfurt head into this important Wednesday night encounter with second from bottom Cologne looking to put an end to their recent dismal sequence of results, and they won’t get a better chance than on Wednesday night to end their recent losing streak.
The hosts have lost 3 of their last 4 matches overall in all competitions which include a defeat in the Europa League to Portuguese side, Vitoria Guimaraes, as well as defeats in the German top flight to Mainz and Schalke, which has left Frankfurt in the bottom half of the Bundesliga in 12th place.
Frankfurt have also lost 4 of their last 5 matches overall on the domestic front too having suffered defeats to Freiburg, Wolfsburg, Mainz and Schalke, but the hosts will take heart from the fact that they’ve suffered just 1 defeat all season to date on home turf at their Commerzbank-Arena.
Indeed, Eintracht Frankfurt have won 4 and drawn 3 of their 8 matches played to date at home and have registered victories over Hoffenheim, Fortuna Dusseldorf, Bayer Leverkusen and a 5-1 romp over Bayer Munich no less.
Onto Cologne, and as mentioned earlier, the visitors currently sit second from bottom in the Bundesliga despite recording a much-needed 2-0 home win against Bayer Leverkusen last time out in the German top flight.
Prior to this valuable win, Cologne had endured a dismal 6-match stretch without a win in the German top flight which consisted of 5 defeats which were incurred against Mainz, Fortuna Dusseldorf, Hoffenheim, RB Leipzig and Union Berlin.
Although they recorded a third win this season against Bayer Leverkusen, 2 of their 3 wins have been achieved on home turf at their RheinEnergie Stadion.
This therefore means that Cologne have collected just 1 away win out of their 8 matches to date on their travels in the German top flight which came in the shape of a 2-1 win at Freiburg, while they’ve also lost their last 4 away matches on the trot as well.
With just 3 away wins out of their last 32 matches on the road in the Bundesliga, Cologne look to have a mountain to climb if they’re to get anything out of this trip to face an Eintracht Frankfurt side who have lost just once at home so far this term.
