Mainz 05 still need to win some crucial points in their battle to stay afloat in the Bundesliga, while the home side are still in the race for European football qualification.
Match Preview
Peter Stöger’s side are unbeaten in their last four, though 1. FC Koln have won just once during that run of games. Die Geißböcke can still finish as high as the 5th place should results go their way as we detail in our 1. FC Koln vs Mainz 05 preview.
- Bayer Leverkusen 2-2 1. FC Koln
- 1. FC Koln 4-3 Werder Bremen
- Borussia Dortmund 0-0 1. FC Koln
- 1. FC Koln 1-1 Hoffenheim
With one defeat in their last five Bundesliga games, Mainz 05 are doing everything they can do pull themselves away from the drop zone. As German clubs head into the last round of fixtures for the 2016/17, Mainz are just two points clear of Hamburg who sit in the relegation play-off position. Both sides have everything to play for on Saturday making any 1. FC Koln vs Mainz 05 predictions difficult to call.
Mainz 05 have conceded two goals in three of their last four outings, in fact, only four Bundesliga sides have conceded more than Martin Schmidt’s team this season.
- Mainz 05 4-2 Eintracht Frankfurt
- Hamburg 0-0 Mainz 05
- Mainz 05 1-2 Borussia Monchengladbach
- Bayern Munich 2-2 Mainz 05
1. FC Koln vs Mainz 05 Prediction and Betting Advice
Our 1. FC Koln vs Mainz 05 picks have been heavily influenced by the fact that the away side have won just three times on the road all season. Schmidt’s troops have only managed one victory away from the Opel Arena in 2017, which doesn’t bode well for their visit to the RheinEnergieStadion, where Koln have lost just twice in 2016/17.
Koln need favours from elsewhere if they are to finish in 5th, but they should have enough to see off visiting Mainz on Saturday to keep the pressure on the teams above them.
