Match Prediction: Mainz vs. Eintracht
After Matchday 25, Bo Henriksen's side was third in the standings. Now, Frankfurt occupies that spot, and Mainz might have to give up on their dream of returning to European competitions after eight years. However, the team has only themselves to blame.
Mainz is on a six-match winless streak in the league, during which they conceded 13 goals – a third of their total goals conceded. Previously, the team relied on a solid defense to consistently earn points. At home in the Bundesliga, Mainz has not lost since mid-October, but their results are declining: only one win in their last five home matches.
Eintracht is much more stable than Mainz. Dino Toppmöller's side has lost only once in their last six league matches, defeating three of Germany's European representatives this season. Additionally, Frankfurt has not lost to Mainz in 8 of their last 9 league encounters. This is another factor in favor of the prediction: Eintracht to win or draw
