"7/9 FC Koln games and 6/8 of Mainz's have delivered three match goals or more"

Back Over 2.5 Goals @ 2.26/5 in FC Koln v Mainz

Tobias Gourlay expects all the fun of the fair in one of tonight's Bundesliga games

FC Koln v Mainz
Tuesday 19:00

He doesn't exist.

That's because Hapoel Jerusalem won 1-0 in Kiryat Gat yesterday, which means there was no miracle. Conclusive proof, you'll agree.

For our next trick, we need to be in Germany.

After a desperately slow start to the Bundesliga season that brought just two goals for and three against in the first six rounds, FC Koln have become a little bundle of excitement. Seven of their last nine matches have brought Over 2.5 Goals as they have kept just a single clean sheet themselves while allowing only one at the other end.

Tonight the Billy Goats welcome Mainz to the RheinEnergieStadion.

Wikipedia doesn't call the visitors the Carnival Club for nothing. Kaspar Hjulmand's troupe of entertainers might not have won in the league for two months, but they have helped 6/8 home and away games go Over 2.5 Goals.

Since the start of the current campaign, 6/8 away days have delivered three match goals or more, with Mainz themselves only failing to score at Wolfsburg and Leverkusen, who are now running second and third overall.
