Mainz take on the visitors Koln in the round 11 match of German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Friday, October 21th at Mewa Arena (Mainz).
Mainz endured an extremely difficult period. The "Carnival" were able to add well with their own former player, Bo Svensson. First, the Dane managed to correct the crisis situation in the season before last. And then, in the 2021/2022 championship, there was even a fight for European cups. True, unsuccessful, the club ended up finishing in 8th place - just behind Cologne. After the summer holidays there was a good start, from the passage in the cup and scoring 10 points in the first 5 rounds. But then the results got worse. The team alternated away defeats (1-4 with Hoffenheim, 1-2 with Freiburg) and home draws (1-1 with Hertha and RB Leipzig each). And only with Werder Bremen it turned out to take a win, and a solid one, 2-0. And then it turned out to defeat Lübeck in the cup.

Cologne are forced to distribute attention this season. The "Goats" relatively recently had qualified in European competition. Then it backfired very seriously: there were no such successes in the Europa League, and in the championship, in the end, everything ended with relegation to the 2nd division. Now the Germans started with 4 points in the Conference League group, but then lost to Partizan twice in a row. Yes, and in the domestic arena, the impression that Steffen Baugmart's wards began to fizzle out. The club did not lose the first 5 matches: 2 wins and 3 draws. But in September there was a defeat to the Berlin Union, and in October it happened 2-5 at all in Mönchengladbach with the local Borussia. However, in the last round they managed to win Augsburg in a home shootout. The final score was 3-2, and Tigges became the hero, who scored a "double", including the decisive goal in the 81st minute.
Mainz was able to win only 1 head-to-head out of the last 5. Cologne had a couple of victories in the same period, including the April 3-2 at home with the “carnivals”. Both teams have shown that they are coming out of the recession. So it will be quite an interesting duel - we recommend betting that the tour will start with a duel with "total over 2.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
