THE PREDICTION
Koln go into this relegation six-pointer without a win in seven games, but they were unlucky not to get anything from Wolfsburg last Saturday after a good performance. Points are what they need at this stage, and the Billy Goats have only lost one of their last five home matches, drawing three. Just above them are Mainz, who could only manage a draw with another relegation rival, Arminia Bielefeld, last time out, which nevertheless extended their unbeaten run to four games. The 05ers face four of the top five in their final four fixtures of the campaign, so they will be desperate to get as many points as they can before that. Recent meetings between the two sides have tended to be close contests and this is likely to be no different, but with the visitors in better form, consider double chance on Mainz and the draw.
