Mainz 05 host FC Cologne at MEWA Arena, Mainz on Saturday, Dec 19 at 3:30 PM in the Bundesliga.
Mainz 05 come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 1D 1L). FC Cologne travel out of form (1W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Mainz 05 won their last outing, while FC Cologne suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.
In 10 previous meetings, Mainz 05 lead 2–4 with 4 draws. Their last encounter ended in Mainz 05 won 1–2.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Mainz 05 a slight edge, but FC Cologne are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
