Mainz had intensive first part of the season and the team simply didn’t have resources in their recent matches, recording four defeats in five league matches. Such series put the team on 10th position in the league with 20 points gained in 16 matches. Despite close schedule, the team always try to show their best in front of home fans, taking 13 points in seven matches with 18-14 goal difference and winning four out of recent five home matches.

Koln finished the first part of the season with series of ambiguous results. The team is unable to win in five matches in a row since the middle of November, recording four draws and one defeat. Recent three matches ended with 1-1 draws in matches against Borussia Dortmund, Werder and Bayer. Such series affected team’s positions in the league and the Billy Goats are now seventh in the league with 25 points gained after 16 matches. However, couple of wins in upcoming matches might take the team up to top-four. Cologne side aren’t confident in away matches, taking only two wins in eight matches in the road and gaining nine points in these matches.
Mainz and Koln are two team of about the same level and venue is important in such matchups. We should expect the hosts to have advantage in the games at own stadium and be closer to a victory, considering how tough for Koln to win on the road.
Prediction for the match: Mainz to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
