The action continues in round 20 of the German Bundesliga as FC Koln and Eintracht Frankfurt lock horns at the RheinEnergieStadion on Saturday.
Dino Toppmoller’s side will head into the weekend seeking to get one over the hosts, having failed to win their last five meetings since February 2021.
Koln continues to struggle for results in the bottom end of the table as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Wolfsburg at the Volkswagen Arena last Saturday.
Timo Schultz’s men have now failed to win their last seven matches across all competitions, picking up four draws and losing three since a 1-0 victory over Darmstadt on December 1.
With 12 points from 19 matches, Koln are currently 16th in the Bundesliga table, just one point above the automatic relegation places.
Meanwhile, Eintracht Frankfurt maintained their fine run of results as they picked up a deserved 1-0 victory over Mainz at the Deutsche Bank Park last Friday.
Toppmoller’s side have now gone four consecutive Bundesliga games without defeat, claiming three wins and one draw since a 3-0 loss to Bayer Leverkusen on December 17.
With 31 points from 19 matches, Frankfurt are currently sixth in the league table, two points behind fifth-placed RB Leipzig in the Europa League qualification spot.
