**Frankfurt are in wonky form, but Köln have injury carnage** — this should be the home team's to lose, even if their 0-6 drubbing last week still stings 🔴

Frankfurt bounced back with a 4-0 romp over Braunschweig after that Leipzig disaster, while Köln scraped a win at Gladbach but sit mid-table. The visitors are missing their entire front line with five sidelined, including key attacker Ache and midfield lynchpin Skhiri.

Key storylines:

- **R. Doan** and **C. Uzun** will be hungry to build on Frankfurt's Braunschweig blitz
- **M. Moore** leads a makeshift Köln attack that's painfully thin on depth
- Frankfurt's **3-4-2-1** should have too much control with **R. Onyedika** and **C. Uzun** anchoring midfield

Expected lineups:

- **Eintracht Frankfurt**: Atubolu, Kosugi, Koch, Brassier, Baum, Uzun, Onyedika, Chaïbi, Ebnoutalib, Burkardt, Doan
- **1. FC Köln**: Schwäbe, Mensah, Simpson-Pusey, Lochoshvili, Thielmann, Krauß, Jóhannesson, Maina, El Mala, Bülter, Moore

Prediction:

**Frankfurt 2-0 Köln**. Köln's injury crisis is real; Frankfurt should exploit the space and close this one out 🎯
