KOL Vs MAZ Dream11 Team Probable Playing 11 And Match Report: Relegation threatened Mainz visit Koln in dire need of coming out of this tie unscathed
Finding themselves precariously close to the relegation zone before Coronavirus ended up halting action in the Bundesliga, Mainz 05 will be elated at the league’s decision to resume. With the 20019-29 edition of the season set to be played out fully and run down its proper course, Mainz find themselves in with a proper chance of ensuring safety this season.
And while its going to be extremely for them to get right back into the thick of things after a two month hiatus, the side knows it needs to settle into its groove right from the word go. Just the three points above 16th spot at the moment, a defeat against Koln today could end up pushing them right into the dreaded bottom three.
What will instil much needed confidence into them ahead of the day’s upcoming tie is the hammering they handed out to Koln the last time these two sides met. The 3-1 defeat for Koln was vindictive of the side’s defensive aberrations, ones which see them a measly 6 point above Koln in the league at the moment.
Probable Winner
With both these sides struggling to scrape together stringent defensive displays, we envision today’s outing being a humdinger of a goals feast. This promises to be an incredible attacking show, one where either side will leave their defensive gameplan out of the door.
And this encounter will suit Koln, a side capable of exploiting vulnerable defences to see the home side come out of the fixture with a win.

KOL Vs MAZ Dream11 Goal-Keeper
At the forefront of his side’s minirevival in the league before play broke off, Florian Muller from Mainz 05 will be inducted into our side as the goal-keeper for this one. The shot stopper has waged a lone battle for his side all season long, effortlessly parrying away shots to make him an ideal pick from the side.
KOL Vs MAZ Dream11 Defenders
Both the sides aren’t renowned for their defences with both the backlines waning to concede a hoard of goals this season. It’s a narrative which makes a cleansheet for either side an extremely unlikely proposition today with us set o be immersed in an edge of the seat attacking thriller.
However, if there is one side with the slightest chance of coming out with an unlikely shut down in their favour, its Koln. The team registered two cleansheets in their last four outings with the side getting its house in order defensively.
The discourse sees us rope in defenders only from the side for this one with us opting for six goal man Sebastian Bornauw as the first player from the side for the day owing to his attacking penchant. Kingsley Ehizibue, Noah Katterbach and Toni Leistner all make way as well with the players set to thrive against a struggling Mainz outfit.
KOL Vs MAZ Dream11 Midfielders
With the two goals and 6 assists in his kitty this season, we’ll be making Florian Kainz our pick from the home side for the day. Elsewhere, we have a partnership represent us from the opposition, one comprising of four goal man Levin Oztunali and the versatile wingback Ridle Baku.
KOL Vs MAZ Dream11 Strikers
Up against a side which has shipped the 53 goals this season, Koln’s leading scorer, Jhon Cordoba is set to flourish on the day. This will be a tie where he adds to his 10 goal tally for the side, a fixture where he has Mainz’s paper thin defence on a string.
He’s going to find company in Mark Uth who has contributed he four goals and four assists to the side’s cause while from the opposition we’ll be moving in for their leading scorer, 12 goal striker Robin Quaison.
Captain And Vice-Captain
With 10 goals this season, Cordoba will find his place in our side as the captain while Uth is the vice-captain.
