Mainz 05 form and stats

Mainz 05 have played three Bundesliga home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.

In their previous game, the manager S. Schwarz led his Mainz 05 to a defeat in the Bundesliga match away at Fortuna Dusseldorf. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Opel Arena. In the game before, an away victory match versus Paderborn with a 2-1 scoreline.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Mainz 05 have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found five matches with the results: Won 1 Drawn 1 Lost 3.

Mainz 05 are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 3 goals in 3 attempts. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 5 goals have been conceded.

Köln form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Bundesliga travels is 1 win, 1 draw and 2 defeats.

Köln are travelling after their nice 3-0 home win in the Bundesliga against Paderborn (placed 18th). A 1-1 draw at Schalke 04's stadium before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Köln playing away and similar expectations, we found one relevant match. Results were 1 Köln win, 0 draws and 0 defeats.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The DFB Pokal trip to Saarbrucken.

Köln find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 4 goals from 4 away fixtures in the league. For Köln, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.

Head 2 Head

Last ten meetings between the teams: Mainz 05 won 3, Köln won 4 and 3 draws. 3 games with over 2,5 goals, 7 matches with two goals or less.
