The Bundesliga's suspension came at worst the possible time for Cologne, who were in a rich vein of form before the lockdown.
They'd won four of their previous six matches and found goals very easy to come by - netting at least two goals in four of those wins.
What's more, Cologne have recorded victory in five of their last six home games - with the only defeat in that time coming against mighty Bayern Munich.
But while the hosts go into this match comfortably mid-table, Mainz really need to pick up all three points to help them avoid relegation after a torrid season.
Although they too were on a great run before football was suspended - losing just one of their previous five league matches.
Keep a close eye on Cologne forward Jhon Cordoba, who scored scored three goals across their previous three league matches.
Cologne to score in both halves is 13/8.
Cordoba to score in both halves is 16/1.
