Saturday, Cologne meets Mainz on behalf of the 26th day of the Bundesliga. Cologne wants to continue to take points to replace themselves in the first part of the table while Mainz hopes to increase its lead in the red zone.
Long present in the last 5 places in the ranking, Cologne has recovered in the right direction and asserts itself as one of the most fit teams in the Bundesliga. Anthony Modeste’s teammates have won 4 of their last 5 league games. Only Bayern managed to thwart their plans (1-4). Otherwise, they won against Freiburg (4-0), Hertha Berlin (0-5), Schalke 04 (3-0) and Paderborn (1-2) last week. On Wednesday, they face Borussia Mönchengladbach in a late match.
Opposite, Mainz keeps its head above water and occupies 15th place in the classification with 4 points more than the barrage specialist Düsseldorf. Rather irregular for a while, the Nullfünfer was notably beaten by Wolfsburg (4-0) before winning against Paderborn (2-0) and settling for a draw last weekend against Fortuna Düsseldorf ( 1-1).
Cologne remains deprived of the important Katterbach, Verstraete and Czichos which are still on the floor. With 10 goals, the Colombian Cordoba is the best fireworker of this meeting.
The long-time absentee Bell is still missing for Mainz while the important Hack is hoped for. However, the former Lyonnais Mateta will be suspended after being expelled last week.
Mainz won in the first leg (3-1).
Cologne remains on 4 wins in 5 games.
Cologne have scored 15 goals in their last 5 games.
Cologne has been in great confidence for a few weeks and it could win in front of a Mainz team which displays only a few guarantees this season.
