Koln vs Mainz Preview & Betting Tips

Koln play Mainz at the Rhein Energie Stadion on Sunday in the Bundesliga with goals expected to flow.

Considering that both teams enjoy and free-flowing attacking brand of football goals could come aplenty. The over/under goals market offers superb value.

Koln Form

Koln have been in flying form winning eight of their last 11 Bundesliga matches. After looking to be stuck in the relegation fight this recent run has steered them well clear. They destroyed Hertha Berlin 5-0 away from home before beating Schalke at home..

Markus Gisdol’s side backed it up with a 2-1 win at bottom-of-the-table Paderborn where Jorge Meré and Jonas Hector both scored. Koln’s last match was a 2-1 defeat at fourth placed Borussia Monchengladbach.

Koln have won five of their last six home matches in the Bundesliga and won by 2+ goals in three of their last four at home.

Koln News

Centre back Rafael Czichos is injured but Sebastiaan Bornauw should have recovered to start next to Jorge Meré.

Mainz Form

Mainz have not enjoyed the best of spells but before the break due to COVID-19 there was some respite. After four defeats they defeated Hertha Berlin 3-1 - that was followed up with a credible 0-0 draw at home before suffering a 4-0 defeat to Wolfburg.

Achim Beierlorzer’s side returned to winning ways with a 2-0 home win against Paderborn. Mainz’s last match was a 0-0 home draw against Fortuna Dusseldorf after conceding a late equaliser.

This decent little point scoring run puts them four points clear of the relegation zone but with nine games to play it is far from over.

Mainz News

Goalkeeper Robin Zentner is injured but Stefan Bell has had time to recover alongside Jeremiah St. Juste and Alexander Hack.

Striker Jean-Philippe Mateta is suspended after being sent off against Fortuna Dusseldorf.

Koln vs Mainz Head to Head

Mainz have a 12-10 advantage against Koln with seven draws in 29 meetings. This fixture ended 1-1 last season with Mainz winning 3-1 at home in October.

Koln vs Mainz Betting Odds

Koln are favourites at 1.95 with Mainz paying at 3.60. A draw is available at 3.60.

Koln have seen over 2.5 goals in their last eight Bundesliga matches and Mainz have seen over 2.5 goals in 11 of their last 12 away matches in the competition.

Over 2.5 goals is my best bet at 1.66. Mainz have seen over 3.5 goals in six of their last seven away matches in the Bundesliga which is my value bet at 2.70.
