**Frankfurt's Midfield Edge Will Decide It At Cologne**
Look, the key matchup here is Ellyes Skhiri against Frankfurt's engine room, particularly Daichi Kamada. Skhiri anchors Cologne, but he's going to be swamped by Frankfurt's ability to run through the middle and exploit space. Cologne's only won one of their last five, and even that was against a struggling Bochum side. Frankfurt, meanwhile, has been quietly decent, drawing with Dortmund and beating Union Berlin recently. They've found a rhythm.
Here's the thing: Cologne gives up too many clear-cut chances. Frankfurt's attack, even without a true goal-scorer, creates enough. I think Frankfurt takes this one comfortably, 2-0.
