Mainz vs Eintracht Frankfurt Preview

Mainz are still fighting for their safety this season and will hope to win this encounter against a Frankfurt side that has secured their safety for next season.

Mainz are currently 15^th in the league table with 34 points, the same number of points as Hamburg who are currently 16^th and in the relegation playoff spot.

They have managed just 9 wins from 32 games all season and are without a win in their last 3 league fixtures.

They have only 1 win from their last 6 home games, losing 4 of those games including their last home game against Borussia Monchengladbach.

Eintracht Frankfurt are currently occupying 11^th spot in the Bundesliga table after picking up 41 point from 32 games.

They are currently 5 points short of European qualification and 7 points off the relegation places, which makes them comfortable as the season comes to a close.

Their recent form however is not great – they have lost 4 of their last 6 league games and come into this fixture off the back of 2 consecutive losses in the league.

Their away form is also underwhelming – they have lost their last 5 away games in the league.
