Eintracht vs FC Koln Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 3rd September 2023

The Bundesliga clash at Deutsche Bank Park this coming Sunday sees Eintracht hosting opponents FC Koln.

FC Koln are still without a single point on the board following the first couple of matches in the Bundesliga. They will be very eager to get off the mark in this round three.

Eintracht would have loved six points at this stage, but probably don't complain over the four points they have already claimed. After such an opening, they will be a tough opponent for anyone on Sunday.

Nobody likes to be on the losing side, especially so early into a new season. Eintracht and FC Koln are no exception in this respect. Both teams are eager to improve from last term, leading us to expect an exciting affair at Deutsche Bank Park.

Eintracht only average a modest 1.3 goals per game in their last ten matches in this tournament, in which they scored 13 goals. They also conceded 16 for an average of 1.6 per game. They kept their opponents from scoring two times.

FC Koln scored 17 goals, conceded 13 and kept their opponents from scoring zero times in their last ten matches.

The last time the pair played each other, FC Koln came out the other side as 3-0 winners and surely won't mind a repeat of that result.

Eintracht vs FC Koln Prediction

Eintracht Form

Eintracht are in decent shape before their next match, in which they aim to remain unbeaten. Against Levski Sofia, the match finished 1-1, before another draw followed, this time 1-1 with Mainz 05. They were too strong for Levski Sofia, claiming a 2-0 win. In their last six Bundesliga home matches, Eintracht have three wins, while they've drawn three and lost zero. They scored nine and conceded four goals.

A season somewhat above expectations could perhaps make Eintracht a contender in a title race, though they do look capable of a podium finish if catching the right momentum.

FC Koln Form

FC Koln got away with only one point from their previous three games, and they claimed it in a 1-1 draw with Osnabrueck. Then B. Dortmund proved too strong in a 1-0 defeat, just like Wolfsburg who won 1-2. In their last six Bundesliga away matches, FC Koln have three wins, they've drawn one and lost one two. They scored ten while also conceding 11 times. They also experienced one draw and two defeats.

FC Koln naturally hope for a a top half position come reckoning day next spring, but experts foresee a tough battle ahead in the lower regions of the Bundesliga.

For whatever reason, FC Koln and Eintracht usually find goals tough to come by, when facing each other, and history makes under 2.5 goals our call here.
