Best Tip: Both teams to score

Köln may feel positive ahead of this game and, funnily enough, so might Mainz. The bookmakers don't think there's much between them and neither do we – there's no clear winner in this clash. So we look to the both teams to score market, where there's far more reason to be certain. The form stats, past head-to-head (H2H) records and bookies odds below are all pointing towards both sides scoring, and we think that's the tip to go with here.

If you’re looking for a winner in this match, we think Köln are the most likely. Our predictive algorithm gives them a 48% chance of victory, and the bookies have them at a best price of 2.25.
