In Round 11 of the Bundesliga on Friday (October 21), Mainz will welcome Koln to the Mewa Arena.
The hosts returned to winning ways in the league after a month, securing a 2-0 win at Werder Bremen last week. Mainz have four wins this season, but none of them have come at home. They continued their winning form in DFB-Pokal, beating VfB Lubeck 3-0 in midweek.
Koln, meanwhile, also returned to winning ways with a hard-fought 3-2 win over Augsburg, with Steffen Tigges netting a brace. They were eliminated in the DFB-Pokal first round so Koln will be well-rested for this game at Mainz.
