Mainz vs Koln Prediction and Betting Tips | April 28, 2024 

Mainz will play host to Koln at the MEWA Arena on Sunday (April 28) in the Bundesliga.

The hosts have come alive under new boss Bo Henriksen as they seek to push for safety. They drew 1-1 with Freiburg last time out, finding themselves a goal down in the opening 10 minutes before Jonathan Burkardt levelled the scores late in the first half.

Mainz are 15th in the league table with 27 points from 30 matches. They are five points above Koln in the first automatic relegation spot.

Koln, meanwhile, continue to struggle as they seek to save their top-flight status. They lost 2-0 to last-placed Darmstadt in their last game, conceding twice in the second half to hand Die Lilien their first away league win since October.
