Team News

Mainz
FC Koln
  • Tom Krauss and Lee Jae-Sung both picked up their fifth booking and are suspended. Jessic Ngankam has a thigh injury, while Stefan Bell has a heart inflammation issue that is of concern.
  • Maxim Leitsch has adductor problems, while Andreas Hanche-Olsen turned his ankle in training and has to be a doubt.
  • Dejan Ljubicic has been feeling unwell, while Davie Selke has a fractured foot and will not play again this season. Luca Kilian has suffered an ACL injury and will be out for several months.
  • Eric Martel is available after suspension. Justin Diehl is nearing a return from a muscle injury.

Prediction

  • Mainz have moved out of the relegation spots for the first time since August after some serious improvement under Bo Henriksen, their third boss of the season.
  • The league's lowest scorers with 23 goals in 30 games, Koln succumbed to the bottom side last weekend and sit five points from that relegation playoff place now occupied by Bochum.
  • The reverse fixture ended goalless, but Mainz should have the momentum to nick this genuine relegation six-pointer on home soil.
