Mainz 05, Recent FormMainz 05 will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 2-0 away win against Werder Bremen. Their share of possession in that meeting was 32%, while racking up 11 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target, in contrast to the numbers reached by Werder Bremen, who had 14 shots on goal with 3 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 7 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 8, and leading to valuable points being dropped. With just 1 clean sheet in the last 6 matches at home, Bo Svensson will be worried about the defensive frailties within his team of late.
They've drawn their last 2 league games at MEWA Arena, but their search for a home win in the league extends even further having gone 5 consecutive games without grabbing all 3 points.
Goalscorer Marcus Ingvartsen will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 4 goals in his last 6 league matches for Mainz 05.
Cologne, Recent FormKöln will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 3-2 win in their home outing against Augsburg. In that game they had 65% possession and managed 15 attempts on goal, with 6 on target, compared to Augsburg who had 5 attempts and 2 on target.
Whilst manager Steffen Baumgart will be pleased with his team's performance in front of goal, with them having scored 13 goals in their last 6 games, he will want to tighten up his defence if they are to pick up more points, with 13 in the same period. Their run of scoring away from home now extends to 8 games. This season, their defensive frailties have certainly been apparent, having conceded at least 1 goal in 9 of their 10 league games.
Having drawn 3 of their last 6 away games they have at least put some points on the board, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Köln, Florian Kainz will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was Mainz 05 who ended up empty-handed, losing 3-2 to Köln.
Die Geißböcke will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 7 encounters with Mainz.
Jonathan Burkardt has scored in each of Mainz's last 2 league games against Köln.
