Match preview
Mainz host Köln in the Bundesliga on 24 August 2025. Mainz sit 10th on 39 points and Köln are 14th on 31. In their last 1 meetings, Mainz won 0, Köln won 1 and 0 ended level. These are probabilities from past results, not guarantees: football upsets happen every week.
How this is worked out
Each club has an Elo rating that moves after every result (bigger wins move it more, home sides get a small boost). We turn the rating gap into expected goals and use a Poisson model to get win, draw and loss chances. The prediction is locked at kick-off and never edited.
Probabilities, not promises. For analysis and entertainment only. 18+.
