Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Koln play host to Mainz at their RheinEnergieStadion in the relegation six-pointer on Sunday evening. The Billy Goats suffered a 1-0 loss to Wolfsburg at the weekend, with the team remaining in the relegation zone, and, no doubt, they are desperate to get back on course in the Bundesliga. Both Bornauw and Thielmann are sidelined with injuries for the hosts, but there are no suspended players in the home team ahead of the visit of Mainz.
Die Nullfunfer, on the other hand, have been in a fine form of late, with the team beating both Freiburg and Hoffenheim, while sharing the spoils with Arminia Bielefeld and Schalke. Since both Koln and Mainz are likely to go for a win in Sunday’s relegation six-pointer, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. The likes of Brosinski and Vieira da have joined Nobel in the recovery room.
