Interesting action at the bottom of the Bundesliga standings will take place on Sunday, as FC Köln look to kick on after picking up their second win of the campaign last weekend. Mainz will be the visitors this weekend after going three without a win.
The pressure will be increasing on the sides at the bottom end of the Bundesliga standings this weekend, as the midway point of the campaign gets ever closer. Mainz will be feeling that pressure more than most, as they currently sit second bottom in the standings after falling to a seventh defeat of the season last weekend.
However, positives would have likely have been taken before that latest setback, as they did go into the previous round of matches after going four without a defeat. Mainz could yet move out of the bottom three places this weekend if they are able to claim maximum points, but no side in the Bundesliga has picked up fewer wins than the visitors this weekend.
FC Köln will be hopeful that their fortunes have changed, as they picked up their second win of the season last weekend. That victory saw them move up to 15th in the standings, and they could climb a few more places on Sunday if they are able to record a second straight win.
It was a battling performance by Köln last weekend, as they snatched maximum points with half an hour remaining. The only goal of the game was netted by Davie Selke, but Köln were good value for the win on that afternoon, as they dominated the possession and created at least five clear scoring opportunities.
The latest match between these two sides ended in a 1-1 draw in April. Neither side has dominated the previous five, with two matches having been played out. Mainz won the first clash between the teams last term, landing a 5-0 home win. However, they have experienced recent away success against Köln after winning 3-2 in April 2021.
This could be a fixture that goes either way in the Bundesliga this weekend. However, we have been encouraged by the performances shown by Mainz in recent weeks, and we could see them claiming a notable win on the road this weekend against Köln.
