We said: FC Koln 2-1 Mainz 05

Both sides will be keen to return to winning ways as they look to end the campaign on a high by securing at least a top-half finish. The visitors have struggled away from home for some time, and although they were victorious in their last visit to Koln, we feel that the hosts will do enough to claim all three points, especially if Modeste is fit to lead the line.
