Looking back at the meetings between these two teams, few of them ended quietly — 2-2, 3-4, 2-0, 1-1, trading back and forth depending on who could open up the game first. This time both come in with form that isn't all that different. Eintracht Frankfurt have managed just one win from their last five, and were just thrashed heavily, while FC Köln also just won narrowly, but overall they look steadier. Eintracht Frankfurt have games where they score a lot but also concede plenty, judging from the latest match they lost 0-6, and before that there were both a 3-1 win and a 2-2 draw, alternating. Meanwhile FC Köln just won 2-1 in their latest match, and before that a 2-2 draw and a 1-2 loss, alternating in much the same way. This game should be open and end-to-end from the start, because both teams tend to concede goals in the closing stages at a similar rate. If FC Köln score first, they will likely drop back and defend, waiting to counter, which will force Eintracht Frankfurt to push the pace and may leave more gaps at the back. The game could end with the home side equalising or losing outright.
