Prediction: 1-1
Mainz
Saturday’s football game at RheinEnergieStadion pits together Koln and Mainz, the two mid-table teams. The Billy Goats aim to build on a 3-1 win over Augsburg, but this match will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. Austria midfielder Dejan Ljubicic is pushing for a start, while Ellyes Skhiri is banned for the match. All Sebastian Andersson, Mark Uth, and Florian Dietz continue to miss out with injuries.
Die Nullfunfer, on the other hand, are undefeated in the previous eight league fixtures. Mainz are eager to climb to the Conference League berth, but beating Koln on the road is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Forward Jonathan Burkardt misses out with a knee injury, but there are no suspended players in the visiting team.
