The good news for coach Bo Hendriksen is that his players are enjoying solid momentum, with three victories and two draws in their last five league outings. The bad news is that he won’t be able to count on Tom Kraub, as the midfielder is suspended for this game and won’t be able to partake.

Player to watch: Florian Kainz

The player to watch in our Mainz vs Cologne prediction is Florian Kainz, as he’s by far one of the key players under coach Timo Schultz’s guidance this season. Kainz has the required arsenal to put pressure on Mainz to succeed this week.

Florian can make stuff happen for the visitors

The Billy Goats’ fans will be looking over at Florian as the difference-maker on the 28^th of April. Since the start of the season, the attacking midfielder has had three goals and four assists.
