FSV Mainz 05 to Win

Reason for tip

Mainz are yet to get off the mark for home league victories, but they welcome a tired Cologne side that have conceded ten times in their last four competitive games while Mainz have netted five without reply.

FSV Mainz 05 2-1

Reason for tip

Both teams scored in four of Cologne’s last five away games while the same can be said in each of Mainz’s last two at home. We expect this to be similarly end-to-end, yet it looks to be a fairly close contest between sides of comparable calibre.

FSV Mainz 05 vs Cologne Predictions

  • Mainz have scored five consecutive goals without reply ahead of this.
  • Cologne have conceded seven times across their last two away games.
  • Mainz are unbeaten in four of the last five H2H encounters.

It’s about time for a Mainz home win

with back-to-back multi-goal margin wins to nil ahead of this, confidence is building amongst Bo Svensson’s Mainz charges that they can record their first home league win at the fifth attempt in this Friday night Bundesliga clash.

A return of three draws from Mainz’s four home league games so far suggests that they are proving hard to beat, yet they need to transfer their attacking spark that has seen them score five straight goals since their last conceded one into a home league game to get on the winning trail, albeit belatedly.

On the other hand, Cologne just about squeaked a 3-2 win over Augsburg in the last round, though they haven’t looked very convincing across their last four games (W1, L3) while conceding ten times. Such is the reality of juggling European football with domestic duties, so they’ll need to be at their firing best to get the win here.

Stick with the hosts

Priced at around 5/4 at the time of writing, this seems like brilliant value for a seemingly resurgent Mainz side to add a home league win to their 2022/23 repertoire against a Cologne side that have won just twice across their opening nine competitive away games this term.

That’s not to mention the fact that the Billy Goats failed to win in four of their last five visits to Mainz, so we’re sticking with the hosts. For smaller stakes, a slender 2-1 correct score bet could be the correct play here.
