Both teams unbeaten in 2023: Cologne meets Frankfurt
Situation: The Cologne team are still undefeated after four games in 2023 and are currently in eleventh place beyond good and evil. The Frankfurters have been unbeaten in seven league games and are fifth within striking distance of the Champions League places.
Statistics: The balance of the two traditional clubs is almost balanced. Cologne leads just 33:31 Bundesliga -victories. In the all-time table, however, Eintracht has a 35-point lead. Twelve were added this season.
Personal: In addition to Kilian and Uth, Cologne also have to do without Ljubicic and Selke. All the players at Frankfurt are fit – including Lindstrom, who was out against Darmstadt with a hard thigh
special: Although both teams are offensively oriented, there have never been more than two goals in the last six duels. Four of them ended 1-1. Cologne also played 0-0 twice in a row.
