FC Koln vs Mainz Prediction

Koln to win & Over 2.5 Goals – 33/20 with Coral: BET.

The reverse league fixture saw Mainz pick up all three points having fallen behind. That game ended 3-1 at the Opel arena and more goals are likely once again. Despite sitting in 15^th, just one place above the relegation play-off spot, Mainz have outscored a number of teams above them, including 5^th placed Schalke. Their defensive record is the third-worst in the league, averaging over two goals against over their 25 league games this season.3

Meanwhile, Koln have seen a total of 84 goals across their 25 league games, a tally only exceeded by the current top three, bottom-placed Paderborn, Ausburg and Mainz. Goals certainly look likely in this match so we’re combining a Koln win with over 2.5 goals to kick-off our predictions for this game. The best odds at the time of writing come from Coral and if you open an account with them and bet £10 on any sports bet, you will get 3 free £10 bets added to your new account straight away.

 

Correct Score Prediction for Koln vs Mainz

Koln to win 2-1 – 15/2 with bet365: BET.

Koln headed into the break in excellent form and will be hoping to start where they left off. Eight of their ten league victories came in the last 11 games before lockdown, with their only defeats coming against 1^st, 2^nd and 4^th in the table.

Koln haven’t failed to score since early November and have kept things relatively tight in that period. They have kept five clean sheets since the start of December, conceding on six occasions.

Visitors, Mainz, had lost just one of their last five, their best form of the season heading into lockdown. Prior to this, they lost four consecutive games, despite scoring in three of them.

We’re going for a 2-1 victory in this match and a few bookmakers are offering odds of 15/2, however our number 1 rated bookies is bet365 and you can watch a live stream of all the Bundesliga matches there this weekend, as well as collecting their £100 in bet credits welcome bonus.

 

First Goalscorer Prediction for FC Koln vs Mainz

Jhon Córdoba to Score First – 5/1 with 888Sport: BET.

Mainz’s Robin Quaison sits in fourth position in the Bundesliga scoring charts with 12 goals but we’re backing Koln forward, Jhon Córdoba, on this occasion. Cordoba has hit 10 league goals this season, averaging a goal every 139 minutes, goals to minute rate only bettered by Robert Lewandowski, Timo Werner, Jadon Sancho and Erling Haaland (from players with at least 7 goals).

The former Mainz man scored six goals across Koln’s last six league wins, only failing to score once. With home advantage, Córdoba looks a good prospect to find the back of the net first to complete our Koln vs Mainz predictions. The best odds for Cordoba to score first are with 888Sport and this is the perfect time to get the 888Sport sign-up bonus because after you bet £10, you will get 3 free £10 bets credited to your new account.
