Mainz to Win
The Billy Goats barely avoided relegation last season and look to be a rejuvenated outfit this time around. A similar revolution is underway at the MEWA Arena, where Mainz are defying expectations under the tutelage of Bo Svensson. We are backing the seventh-placed hosts to continue their trajectory at the expense of Cologne, to add to their four-match unbeaten run at home.
Total Goals – Over 2.5
Mainz's last five Bundesliga fixtures have seen them involved in 16 goal involvements. On the other hand, Cologne has a tally of 19 goal involvements in the same period. As a consequence, both sides have seen four of their last five league outings conclude with Over 2.5 goals. With four of their last five H2H encounters finishing in a similar manner, we are anticipating seeing at least three goals in this matchup.
Both Teams to Score – Yes
The visiting Billy Goats have suffered on the road, conceding goals despite boasting of an improved attacking output themselves. They have shipped in 12 goals in their last five fixtures whilst sending seven in the opposite direction. On the other hand, while Mainz offensive statistics are similar at nine goals scored, their backline has been better at conceding a comparatively paltry eight. However, it shows they have issues at the back and we believe it should result in goals at either end of the pitch in this final fixture of Round 12.

Match Preview of Mainz vs Cologne: Billy Goats to have a surprise at the home of Carnival Club
Bo Svensson has turned the outlook of Mainz and the club's faithful are enjoying their lofty standing in Bundesliga as a consequence. The Carnival Club have a seventh place in their grasp with two wins and a draw from their last three outings. It is their defensive output that has gone in recent weeks and 8 goals conceded in their last five fixtures, an anomaly in Svensson's close to 10 months in charge of the club.
The improvements made at the MEWA Arena would not have been missed by Steffen Baumgart at the helm of Cologne. The manager is overseeing a mini-revolution with the Billy Goats and will be looking to pit his wits against the Swedish manager. It promises to be an enticing encounter with three points separating both sides. With four of their last five meetings bringing 22 goals, fans and neutrals will be eagerly awaiting this fixture.
