Eintracht have had an unbeaten start to the 2023-24 season and have a 100% record in two games, keeping clean sheets. They're winless in four meetings against Koln, though, drawing their two home games.

After scoring seven goals in the DFB-Pokal, Eintracht have scored five goals in four games since. The departure of Randal Kolo Muani could impact them, though.

Koln, meanwhile, have lost their two games this season and are winless in four league games overall. They have a lengthy injury list, which has added to their woes.

While they have a good record against Eintracht in recent games, considering the form of the two teams, expect Eintracht to record a narrow win without conceding.
