REF’s picks

Eintracht Frankfurt hold the advantage at Deutsche Bank Park under Albert Riera and can edge past a Cologne side adjusting to a new managerial setup.

1. 1Frankfurt boast a strong home record under Riera with vital wins and solid attacking displays.
2. 2Cologne travel without the suspended Eric Martel and under the debutant guidance of René Wagner.
3. 3The hosts suffered a heavy defeat to Leipzig last time out, leaving defensive vulnerabilities to exploit.
