Koln Preview – Can Koln halt slump?
A seven-match slump in results has landed Koln in relegation trouble near the foot of the Bundesliga as the hosts now sit second from bottom and three points adrift of safety ahead of this desperate relegation clash against fellow strugglers, Mainz.
Five defeats within this seven-match sequence haven’t done Koln any favours in their bid for Bundesliga survival following defeats to Eintracht Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Bayern Munich, Union Berlin and Wolfsburg and this upcoming encounter against Mainz looks a tricky one too.
In addition, Koln have managed to win just once at home all season within a poor home record of 1-5-7 14/23 which was against Arminia Bielefeld but with just one clean sheet at home all season, this doesn’t bode well for the hosts here.
Mainz Preview – Can Mainz pull away from danger?
Mainz sit third from bottom and two points above their hosts, Koln, ahead of this relegation ‘six-pointer’ in the German top flight on Sunday and the visitors will be looking to not only extend their unbeaten run but also pull further away from trouble here.
Mainz have produced some encouraging results of late as they’ve suffered just one defeat out of their last eight matches overall, that being a 1-0 loss at home to Augsburg, but recent victories over Union Berlin, M’gladbach, Freiburg and Hoffenheim have given Mainz a fighting chance of survival.
The visitors are also unbeaten in their last four matches away from home too so they look the more likely to get something from this crucial encounter.
