Cologne vs Mainz predictions for this Bundesliga battle on Sunday at Rhein Energie Stadion. Exciting battle at the bottom of the Bundesliga, Cologne and Mainz play each other to avoid relegation with just a few games remaining in the Bundesliga. Read on for our free predictions and betting tips.
FC Cologne
Cologne is currently in sixteenth position, so if the Bundesliga were to end as it is now, they would have to play the playoffs to avoid relegation against the third placed team in Bundesliga 2.
The good thing for Cologne is that their direct rivals don’t seem to be doing much better than them either, so it can be assumed that until the last day of the league we won’t know who will stay and who will be relegated.
Cologne is the second worst home team in the Bundesliga, winning only one match out of 13 played.
Mainz
The situation is not much better for Mainz, who is in fifteenth place and only two points above Cologne.
Mainz has so far taken more points away than at home, which for a team in the bottom half of the table is a bit unusual, as such teams hardly score at all in away games.
Four consecutive away matches without losing for Cologne (Two wins and two draws).
Key Stats
Cologne vs Mainz Predictions
We think that Mainz, following their good form of the last few matchdays, can win at Cologne, who on the other hand continue with their usual bad streak. Mainz has also taken eight points out of a possible 12 in their last four away games.
We also think that it will be a game with many chances and goals, remember that both teams are among the teams that concede the most goals, and because of the need for points both teams will surely play quite offensively.
