Frankfurt is coming into this match with 2 sequential league wins. They are presently on a 3 match unbeaten run after that horrible 5 game losing streak. They are as of now out of the title race or even a Europa League qualification spot. Be that as it may, on the off chance that they wish better last season’s completion they need more successes and rely upon different outcomes also.

Eintracht Frankfurt

Eintracht Frankfurt have turned their season around in the previous week or somewhere in the vicinity. A midweek win saw them move to 11th in the table and they will be sure of another triumph as they host 15th placed Mainz.

Frankfurt had been yielding a lot of goals and losing game after game. A relegation fight was a chance however a run of seven points from three games has changed the entirety of that. They are currently eight points over the relegation play-off spot and only seven behind the final Europa League place, however, they have played a game more. Wednesday evening saw them get a 3-0 away win at relegation-threatened Werder Bremen. It was as yet goalless going into the 61st minute yet then the deadlock was broken.

Stefan Isanker missed the last game through suspension, yet he returned and scored twice to make sure about the 3-0 win, his first goals of the season. It’s just the second time since April of a year ago, that they have won two consecutive league games. Home form hasn’t been good recently yet they look a vastly improved side now and another success is likely here.

Eintracht seems to be awakening, and just in time to make sure about their spot in Bundesliga next season. Eintracht is in 11th spot in the standings with 35 points, 7 points away from the Europa League, and 8 points away from the relegation zone.

With 5 games to go in Bundesliga, Eintracht could go in any case, yet they will remain directly here where they are at this moment.

In their midweek match against Werder Bremen on the road, Eintracht was nice with 50% of ball possession, 4 shots on goal, 6 corner kicks, and 77% of the right passes. In the first half, we saw a few good possibilities however no goal. In the second half, we saw three goals, and every one of the three were scored by Eintracht who dominated this match 0-3.

Andre Silva and Hinteregger have scored 8 goals each, while Paciencia included 7 goals. Filip Kostic has included 11 assists. Paciencia and Fernandes are the only two harmed players for Eintracht Frankfurt. Their triumph against Werder was surely a tremendous lift for Eintracht, which will help them in this home match against Mainz.

Mainz

Mainz are battling relegation and just one point over the relegation play-off position. They are battling for form however with no success in their last five league games. Saturday saw them lose 1-0 at home to Hoffenheim. It could have been more terrible because their rivals missed a first-half penalty.

Mainz have just themselves to fault however as they had 18 attempts on goal in that game yet just a couple were on track. Their away form has seen just four wins in 14 matches and 35 goals conceded. They have no successes in the last three away matches, however, the last two have both finished in score draws.

Mainz has not been playing great starting late and they are on the edge of the relegation zone. Mainz is in 15th spot with 28 points, only 1 point in front of Fortuna who is in the relegation playoff place.

Mainz hasn’t won any of their last 5 games, and they have yielded at least one goal in those 5 games. In their latest match in Bundesliga against Hoffenheim at home, Mainz has had 49% of ball possession, 2 shots on goal, 10 corner kicks, and 80% of the right passes.

Defensively, Mainz is one of the most exceedingly awful teams in Bundesliga with enormous 62 yielded goals, while they have scored 37 goals, not the most exceedingly terrible, yet unquestionably a long way from the average Bundesliga team.

Quaison has scored 12 goals for Mainz, while Boetius and Onisiwo included 5 assists each. The last five games of the season will be amazingly hard for Mainz, and the schedule isn’t their companion as Mainz still needs to play against Borussia Dortmund and Leverkusen. For the time being, Mainz is safe, however, we will see for to what extent since Fortuna is breathing down their necks, and Werder isn’t far too.
