Penalty cards:

R. Onyedika x 3

1.FC Köln:

Best assist providers:

E. Skhiri - 2

Penalty cards:

G. Mensah x 2

For Köln, E. Skhiri already has two assists in four matches, showing he's still heavily involved in the build-up. Card counts are climbing too, with Frankfurt's R. Onyedika picking up three yellows and Köln's G. Mensah two, so discipline is worth watching.

Goals Look Likely

Add it all up and the pattern holds together: both teams score, both teams concede, and the head-to-head backs that up. Frankfurt's matches have produced goals at both ends this season, Köln haven't been much tighter, and the early standings show two defences yet to find their feet.
