Mainz vs Koln Prediction: The match is going to be a productive one

The 11th round of the German Bundesliga will be between Mainz and Koln, two mid-table sides in the German top flight. Mainz is considered as a slight favorite.

Mainz

Mainz hasn't lost since October first and the match against Freiburg; since then, the Carnival players have drawn with Leipzig and predictably beaten Werder and Lübeck in the German cup. Mainz is predictable, with the Red and Whites sitting 11th in the standings. At the same time, Mainz is just one point behind Gladbach, who are in the UEFA competition; the density in the Bundesliga is very high. As for Mainz's statistics at home are surprising - one would hardly expect the Carnival side to win just three points in four games: a smashing defeat at the hands of Bayer and three draws against Union, Hertha, and Leipzig.

Koln

In contrast to Mainz, the Goats have two fronts in the Conference League apart from the Bundesliga. Last round, they predictably beat Augsburg 3:2 at home, but before that, they had lost three games in a row: twice to Partizan and Borussia Gladbach in the league. Before the start of the 11th round, the visitors are in 7th place, and if they beat Mainz, they will climb up to the third place, although it is likely only for the day. However, it is somewhat risky to predict an away win for them, despite the Carnival players' poor home statistics. The Goats have played five away games, losing only to Gladbach, with three draws and a win over Wolfsburg. It should be noted that the Goats have scored in every away match of the season, so the prediction of the visitors' goal looks relevant.

Expert Betting Tips

Mainz is quoted as the favorite of the pairing quite predictably, even though Mainz has no home victories this season. But this fact encourages the Carnival players to play as actively as possible against Cologne. But even without a home win, Mainz managed to stay close to the goats. Moreover, if they win on Friday, Mainz will be two points ahead of their future opponent. We also draw attention to the fact that Koln plays away very efficiently. And in general, we hope that the match will be productive.
