On Sunday evening, Eintracht Frankfurt host Mainz at the Commerzbank-Arena, in a potentially crucial clash for the home side in the race for the Champions League spots in the Bundesliga.
A four-game winless run of two draws and two defeats have rather hindered the home sides chances of sealing a top-four finish this season in the German top-flight. Last time out in the Bundesliga, the home side suffered a 6-1 defeat at rivals for a top-four spot Bayer Leverkusen.
The defeat in at the BayArena means that Frankfurt are now only ahead of Bayer courtesy of a superior goal difference of five goals.
Eintracht Frankfurt have been inconsistent of late at the Commerzbank Arena in the Bundesliga. However, they have suffered just one defeat in their last eight outings on home soil in the German top-flight.
Frankfurt have failed to win in their last two top-flight games on home soil. However, Adi Hutter’s team has kept three clean sheets in their last four home games in the Bundesliga.
Mainz are currently 12th place in the Bundesliga table after an inconsistent run of form in the German top-flight. The visitors have won just two of their last nine games in the Bundesliga. However, last time out in the German top-flight, the visitors picked up a creditable 3-3 draw at high-flying RB Leipzig.
The draw against Leipzig means that there have been over 2.5 goals scored in six of their last seven Bundesliga matches.
Mainz have been in woeful form on their travels in the Bundesliga of late, losing their last seven away games in the German top-flight. A big contributing factor to that poor recent away form is the fact that they have conceded at least two goals in six of their last seven games on their travels.
Forebet predicts that Frankfurt will end their recent poor run of form by recording a victory in a low-scoring clash.
