Cologne vs FSV Mainz 05 Predictions

• Both teams have scored in three of the last four meetings between the sides.
• Despite their lowly league positions, both sides have scored at least once in 17 of their 27 Bundesliga games.
• However, the sides have also managed just seven clean sheets between them.

Both sides to fire in relegation six-pointer

Relegation six-pointers can often by nervy affairs, but we envisage an open contest when Cologne square off against Mainz at RheinEnergieStadion this weekend.

The sides languish 15^th and 16^th respectively going into this and it’s the visitors who currently hold a two point advantage over The Billy Goats.

They’re unbeaten in four and perhaps rate the more likely winners, though Cologne are unbeaten in their last ten home matches against Mainz, which tempers enthusiasm for getting involved in the match betting.

Despite the sides’ lowly league positions, they’ve each managed to find the net at least once in 17 of their 27 Bundesliga matches this term, while at the other end of the field they’ve kept a combined total of just seven clean sheets.

That indicates we should see an end to end encounter this Sunday and we’re going for both teams to score, which has been the outcome in three of the last four meetings.

With plenty of action and goals expected, we’re also tipping up a 2-2 draw which would undoubtedly be of greater benefit to the away side as they seek to keep their heads above water.
