Best Bets & Predictions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Based on recent attacking trends and head-to-head patterns, here are our top betting recommendations for this match. We’re particularly confident in the ‘Both Teams to Score’ market, given recent goal stats and Mainz’s ability to create but not always convert chances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both Teams to Score \u2013 Yes<\/strong><\/td>\n8\/11 @ Bet365<\/a>
(57.9%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nBoth teams have scored in 4 of the last 6 H2Hs, and K\u00f6ln have netted 24 in 16 this term. Mainz create plenty (26 big chances) but concede often, so goals at both ends look likely.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Nadiem Amiri Anytime Goalscorer<\/strong><\/td>\n11\/4 @ Betfred<\/a>
(26.7%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nMainz\u2019s midfield talisman has 5 league goals and the highest xG in the squad; he faces a K\u00f6ln defence with just one clean sheet in their last six. Amiri often arrives late into the box and takes set pieces.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n
