Haller Successor Sought: Eintracht Aims to Break Cologne Curse - Eintracht Frankfurt seeks rare away win in Cologne after 18-game drought

Eintracht Frankfurt travels to Cologne for a Bundesliga clash on Saturday at 5:30 PM CET. The team arrives in strong form, having gone four games unbeaten for the first time this season. Coach Dino Toppmöller now eyes a rare away win in a stadium where victories have been scarce.

Frankfurt’s last triumph in Cologne came in September 2017, when Sébastien Haller scored the decisive goal. Before that, their only other win there in nearly three decades was on May 7, 1994, with Anthony Yeboah netting the winner. Since then, the side has managed just two victories in their last 18 league visits.

Saturday’s match kicks off at 5:30 PM CET and will be broadcast live on Sky. Frankfurt’s improved form and Zetterer’s rise between the posts give them hope of ending their long wait for three points in Cologne. A victory would also mark their best start to a Bundesliga campaign in years.
