Koln Preview – Can Koln bounce back at home?
Just before the enforced break in the German Bundesliga season, Koln were handed a 2-1 defeat away from home at Borussia Moenchengladbach which put an end to a promising 3-match winning streak which had helped lift Koln up into a mid-table position of 10th on the Bundesliga ladder.
The hosts now have a good opportunity to return to the more familiar surroundings of their Rhein Energie Stadion this Sunday against a struggling Mainz outfit where Koln will be eyeing off all three points here.
Recent wins against Hertha Berlin, Schalke and Paderborn looked like propelling Koln further up the table but although things have improved at home with the hosts winning 5 of their last 6 matches within a record of 6-1-5 20/16, Koln have been susceptible to defeats throughout the season.
Instead, 8 of Koln’s last 12 home matches have seen over 2.5 goals and this suggests that further goals could be in store in this clash.
Mainz Preview – Can Mainz continue recovery?
Sunday’s visitors, Mainz, resume this Bundesliga campaign sitting fourth from bottom in the German top flight but results immediately before the season was halted have given Mainz reason to be confident ahead of their trip to Koln.
Having suffered just 1 defeat out of their last 5 matches overall, Mainz had certainly seemed to turn things around with wins against Hertha Berlin 3-1 away from home and a 2-0 home win against Paderborn, which was in stark contrast to previous results beforehand.
Mainz had previously lost 6 of their preceding 7 matches in the Bundesliga which had plunged the visitors down in to the lower regions of the division, but although they’ve made a recovery since, the fact that 11 of Mainz’s 12 away matches have resulted in over 2.5 goals suggests further goals in this encounter.
