Koln will start their life back in the Bundesliga with a matchday one fixture against Mainz in the 2025-26 campaign. This match on Sunday at Mewa Arena comes with our prediction of both Die Nullfunfer and Die Geißbocke scoring goals.
Mainz finished last season in sixth place with 52 points, thereby achieving qualification for the Conference League play-off round. Koln earned promotion to this year’s Bundesliga by winning the second-tier competition last campaign with 61 points, a two-point lead over Hamburger SV.
Mainz were beaten 2-1 away at Rosenborg in the Conference League play-off round's first leg on Thursday. This was preceded by a 1-0 away win over SG Dynamo Dresden last weekend in the DFB Pokal.
The hosts had four wins and a draw in their five pre-season friendlies but will have to improve on their Bundesliga form. They ended last season with only one win from their final nine league fixtures (W1, D5, L3).
Koln had a successful outing in the DFB Pokal, defeating Regensburg away from home last weekend (2-1). That result was preceded by a successful run of four wins and a draw in their five friendlies.
Away form could be crucial to their chances of surviving the drop, as their last stint in this division in 2023-24 saw only one away win (W1, D8, L8).

Our 1 Fsv Mainz 05 vs Köln Prediction
Mainz had a steady season in the 2024-25 campaign when they finished sixth and qualified for Europe. They will be challenged this season with their top scorer Jonathan Burkardt snatched by Eintracht Frankfurt. Koln earned promotion from the second tier last season without a permanent manager. They will be gunning for safety and will look to frustrate their hosts.
Both teams scoring goals has been a constant occurrence for Mainz as well as Koln recently. Our 1 Fsv Mainz 05 vs Koln prediction is both teams to score.
