Eintracht Frankfurt vs Mainz Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds
Two of the best attacking sides face each other.
Eintracht Frankfurt are set to welcome one of the in-form teams in the division in recent matches, Mainz, at the Deutsche Bank Park on Saturday, looking to return to winning ways after two consecutive losses.
Eintracht Frankfurt who showcased some impressive performances in the league this season have suffered a recent dip in form, losing two consecutive matches in a row. Dino Toppmöller’s side are currently languishing in the third spot in the Bundesliga standings trailing by six points to league leaders Bayern Munich. The team have scored the second-most goals in the league this term but need to tighten up at the back to be in the title race after conceding four goals in their last two matches.
Mainz on the other hand are slowly starting to hit the top gear after pulling an impressive 2-1 victory over Bayern Munich in the last match to occupy seventh position in the league. Bo Henriksen’s side have accumulated 22 points from the starting 14 matches with nine points coming from their last four matches having secured some excellent wins over Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich. They are one of the best teams in the division and will be hoping to pull another setback here against a top-four side.

Players to Watch
Omar Marmoush (Eintracht Frankfurt)
After a stellar campaign last term, where he netted 17 goals and provided six assists, Omar Marmoush has already surpassed this tally with 18 goals and 11 assists in all competitions to emerge as a lethal weapon for them. Although he hasn’t scored in his last three league matches, Marmoush still has 13 goals in the Bundesliga. He is currently leading the league in terms of goal contribution with 20 G/A this term already.
Jae-Sung Lee (Mainz)
Jae-Sung Lee is arguably one of the most in-form players in the Bundesliga at the moment with the South Korean international scoring three goals and providing two assists in his last five matches.
