Stats for this game
Matchup FSV Mainz 05 VS 1.FC Köln
Home ground helps, but does not decide
The results give both clubs convincing evidence. Mainz’s 5–0 home win on 21 October 2022 stands beside Köln’s 3–2 result in Cologne in April 2022 and their 1–0 success at Mainz on 24 August 2025. Köln then won 2–1 at home on 17 January 2026, showing how the fixture can reward a side that keeps the decisive moments under control.
Close games sit beside reversals
Several draws reinforce the matchup’s balance: 1–1 in Cologne in December 2011, 0–0 there in December 2014 and 2–2 in May 2020. Mainz’s 4–0 home win in April 2012 and Köln’s 4–2 victory in February 2011 show the larger swings, but neither makes the next meeting predictable. The teams have also met in cup and league settings, adding variation to the occasion. A future contest will ask whether Mainz can restore home authority or Köln can keep finding the small advantage that shaped their meetings in 2025 and 2026.
