Eintracht Frankfurt vs Mainz Match Preview

For the 17th round of the German Bundesliga, Eintracht Frankfurt welcome Mainz at Deutsche Bank Park.

Eintracht Frankfurt registered another victory in their midweek game, prevailing 3-2 over Gladbach on the road. They stood behind the score early (6΄), then had to defend firmly on several chances but shortly before the halftime, they managed to equalize. The second part was a match with a high and fast pace, they took the lead in 49΄, were tied again in 54΄ but immediately took back the lead and kept it until the end, despite the fact that from 70΄ they were with a man less in the pitch.

This was the 5th victory in the last 6 matches for Eintracht that brings them to 7th place in the standings with 24 points.

Mainz was impressive last Tuesday, they crushed Hertha Berlin 4-0. They were superior from the beginning of the match and the team that was permanently in attack, while defensively they were in little danger from their opponents. Thus, they scored 2 goals in each half, reaching an easy win, and returning to winning ways.

With this victory, Mainz reached 24 points and continue their very good route in the league being in 6th place after 16 games.

This is a local derby between two in-form teams that are deservedly high-placed in the standings. Both in their last matches score and concede goals with ease, something similar I also expect to happen in this match. My choice is Over 2.5 goals at 1.80 odds.
