Eintracht Frankfurt v Mainz

Eintracht Frankfurt vs Mainz Preview

Eintracht Frankfurt extended their unbeaten run in the German Bundesliga to three games last weekend when they earned a point in a 2-2 draw away from home at Darmstadt to keep their European ambitions on track, while Mainz remain sitting third from bottom in the table following a 1-1 draw with Wolfsburg which became a sixth stalemate in nine games overall in the domestic top flight.

Eintracht Frankfurt look the more confident and capable outfit of these two clubs heading into this Friday night clash at the Deutsche Bank Park as the hosts had previously captured important and impressive wins against Borussia M'gladbach and RB Leipzig respectively, the latter being a 1-0 win away from home, and these results will also add fuel to Eintracht Frankfurt's fire on Friday night.

The bigger picture shows Eintracht Frankfurt have been handed just three defeats out of their last 12 matches overall in the Bundesliga and although this includes defeats at the hands of Stuttgart, Augsburg and Bayer Leverkusen, two of these three losses were incurred on the road while also picking up six wins in the process as well.

Results at home though have been where Eintracht Frankfurt have produced most of their impressive displays as Dino Toppmoller's side have been dealt just the single defeat in their previous 18 home games at their Deutsche Bank Park.

Mainz sit third from bottom in the Bundesliga table and therefore currently occupy the relegation play-off spot ahead of Friday night's trip to the Deutsche Bank Park where they'll face a solid looking Eintracht Frankfurt outfit and having managed to collect just the one win so far in this season's Bundesliga campaign, Mainz look to have their work cut out in this Friday night clash.

Mainz's singular success so far this term came in the form of a 2-0 home win against RB Leipzig but this has not only been the visitors' only highlight so far this season but has also been their only win from their previous 22 games overall in the Bundesliga as well.

This season has been mostly dominated by either draws or losses for Mainz who find themselves level on points with the two teams below them, namely FC Cologne and Darmstadt although barring a landslide defeat, Mainz should still at least occupy third from bottom spot if they lose this upcoming encounter.

In addition, Mainz have also failed to win any of their last 13 away games in the German top flight as well, making this upcoming trip even more difficult for the visitors.

Eintracht Frankfurt v Mainz Verdict

Eintracht Frankfurt are unbeaten in the previous eight meetings with Mainz and the hosts look the more likely to take the spoils on Friday evening as well.
