Bundesliga Preview

This will be a big game at both ends of the Bundesliga standings this weekend, as FC Köln chase a second straight win to edge further clear of the bottom three positions in the league standings. The German side has won just once in their previous five, but they moved up to 12th last weekend with a seventh victory of the campaign. That win means that they are now eight points clear of the relegation spots in the league, and a win this weekend could put them into the top half of the standings.

However, their home form has been concerning over recent weeks, as they have gone three matches at the RheinEnergieStadion without a victory, and have failed to score in all previous outings. But, they have never gone four home games without a success under Steffen Baumgart. 

Mainz will be the visitors this weekend, as they look for a huge victory that could lift them up into the top six positions. The German side currently sits eighth in the standings, but they are just two points off the European spots. Over their previous five matches, they have recorded two wins, but their campaign is threatening to get overshadowed by draws.

But, they have been extremely difficult to beat in recent months, as they have gone eight without a loss. That is currently the longest unbeaten active streak in the Bundesliga.
