Mainz 05 has experienced a significant turnaround under the guidance of Bo Henriksen, transforming the Mewa Arena into a stronghold. This resurgence has helped the team move away from the relegation zone, and they are now looking to secure their position in the Bundesliga with a few matches left in the season. Their home form has been particularly impressive, with 13 out of a possible 15 points in recent games under Henriksen.Mainz has significantly tightened their defense, conceding only two goals in their last five league matches.Their strong home record this season will be crucial as they host Cologne, a team struggling near the bottom of the table. Koln, on the other hand, has found life difficult in the Bundesliga this season. The coaching change to Timo Schultz hasn't yielded the desired effect, with the team only managing twelve points from his 14 league games in charge. They currently sit dangerously close to the relegation zone and desperately need points. Koln's recent performances and scoring difficulties, especially their inability to convert chances (only a 9% conversion rate), suggest they may struggle against Mainz’s robust defense. Moreover, the psychological pressure of relegation and a transfer ban could further hamper their performance. Mainz is favored to win this match. The significant difference in morale and momentum between the two teams could see Mainz extending their unbeaten run at home.
