Frankfurt’s leading scorers face a Köln side without an away win in the supplied season sample, while both teams enter with unresolved absences and a modest points gap.

Before kickoff

Ebnoutalib tests Köln’s winless away record

The key question at Deutsche Bank Park on Friday is whether Eintracht Frankfurt can turn Y. Ebnoutalib’s scoring form into a stronger home display against 1. FC Köln. Ebnoutalib has scored 4 goals and supplied 1 assist in 5 Bundesliga appearances this season, while J. Burkardt has added 3 goals and 1 assist in 5 appearances.

The supplied home-and-away records provide the clearest contrast. Frankfurt have 0 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in their 2 home games, scoring 3 goals and conceding 6. Köln have 0 wins, 0 draws and 2 losses in their 2 away games, scoring 2 and conceding 6. Neither side has kept a clean sheet in that venue-specific sample.
