What very few people know, however: The zero fives have never been able to make a Bundesliga game at "Effzeh" victorious. Is this now the tenth attempt? If a forecast of the away win between Cologne and Mainz pays off, the attractive top odds of 2.50 could be bagged at the tested bookmaker Mybet.

Among other things, the fact that the red-whites have been unbeaten for four games and are two points ahead of the upcoming opponent speaks for the FSV. A threesome abroad would therefore provide a small cushion on a direct competitor in the relegation battle. When it comes to self-confidence, stability and playing strength, Svensson-Elf is definitely better.

Cologne - statistics & current form
Friedhelm Funkel, Thorsten Fink, Steffen Baumgart and even Peter Stöger - these are the names that are currently being traded at 1. FC Köln, should Markus Gisdol not win what feels like his 13th final among the billy goats at the weekend.

The current best chances are probably experienced Funkel, who would only step in for the remaining matches as a firefighter. However, Gisdol is still in office and is preparing his troubled team for the basement duel against the FSV.

Between Cologne and Mainz, however, a tip on the host is associated with an enormous amount of risk, after all, the Rhinelander have been waiting for a win for seven Bundesliga games again. Five of these seven games were lost. Only at home against BVB and in the home game against Werder Bremen was "Effzeh" able to score in the form of a draw.

Cologne only with a home win this season
To make matters worse, however, the Cologne residents have had enormous difficulties at home for many months in bringing their own capabilities to the field. A home win in the past 18 Bundesliga games across all seasons speaks for itself. In the current home table, the Gisdol-Elf occupies the penultimate place with seven defeats in 13 games. Only Hertha and Schalke conceded more goals than the Domstadt team, who have also been waiting for a clean sheet for eleven games.
Free soccer tips
The bottom line is that we lack plausible arguments to allude to the odds on the home win between Cologne and Mainz. Rather, we believe that Markus Gisdol's days with the billy goats are finally numbered and that the Swabian will no longer sit on the bench in the coming week.

Mainz - statistics & current form
Although the Mainz team is still deep in the relegation pit and only two points ahead of the first direct relegation place, the atmosphere at the Rheinhessen is still characterized by confidence and optimism. Mainly responsible for this is coach Bo Svensson, who has been on the sidelines of the FSV for 13 games and can look back on a positive balance during this period. Five wins face four draws and four defeats.

Thanks to the 19 points collected, the zero five are certainly the strongest in shape and probably the most stable cellar child on the piano nobile. With another three at the weekend, the red-whites could almost disappear from the relegation battle in the Bundesliga. Even if the endeavor in the Rhein-Energie-Stadion is anything but easy, especially due to the club's history, a few points speak for an away win for the Svensson-Elf.

Mainz builds on the constant form
On the one hand, the resurgent Rheinhessen have not lost any of the past four Bundesliga games (two draws, two wins). On the other hand, the FSV has recently presented itself very consistently, especially abroad. Eight points from the last four guest appearances confirm this assessment, even though three of the four opponents were able to sniff the European Cup air this season. Now another challenge awaits, but with the help of self-confidence and good team chemistry, the zero fives are even more favored in our eyes than the betting odds suggest.

In terms of personnel, the ex-professional is spoiled for choice. With the exception of Luca Kilian, who most recently played in reserve anyway, all players are fit. Accordingly, difficult decisions arise for the coach, who has several options, especially on the offensive.

This statistic is interesting insofar as the zero five, as already mentioned, have never been able to win in nine attempts in the cathedral city. Incidentally, the first leg went 1-0 to the billy goats, who had their winning goal scorer in Elvis Rexhbecaj.

Betting base forecast & Germany Cologne - Mainz Germany tip
The relegation thriller of the 28th match day will kick off on Sunday evening at 6:00 p.m. Then the two table neighbors face each other. Cologne is currently on the relegation spot and is two points behind the Mainz team, who are, however, in clearly better shape and should also be ahead in terms of self-confidence and courage.
Free soccer picks
The Rhinelander have not won in seven games and are also the second weakest home team in the league with just one win and seven defeats in 13 games. Against this background, we think it is not unlikely that the zero five will be able to kidnap all three points from the cathedral city in the tenth attempt for the first time in the history of the first division.
Free soccer tips
Coach Bo Svensson's team have not lost in their last four away games and have generally been unbeaten for four matches. We currently rate the confident Rheinhessen in all important matters more than the insecure team of Markus Gisdol, who will have to pack his things in the event of a defeat.
Free soccer predictions
We therefore decide between Cologne and Mainz for the tip on the away win and play it with six units. Alternatively, it can make sense to place bets on a maximum of two hits. The first leg ended 1-0 for the "Effzeh" and this time we are not expecting an offensive spectacle, but a pure relegation battle.
