FSV Mainz 05 vs Eintracht Frankfurt Predictions

Mainz have been finding the net regularly of late, with four consecutive games yielding goals, and there should be more action in store when they host Eintracht Frankfurt at the Mewa Arena on Sunday. Back over 2.5 goals.

Eintracht Frankfurt are seventh in the Bundesliga, six places above Mainz, with ten wins, eight draws and eight defeats from their 26 games this season. Eintracht have 11 more points than Mainz, who sit in 13th place with six wins, nine draws and eleven losses.

Mainz are unbeaten in eight of their last nine Bundesliga home games, while Eintracht Frankfurt have not won any of their last seven away games.

Neither team has impressed defensively. Mainz have conceded in 16 of their last 18 home games and failed to keep a clean sheet in nine of their last 11 overall, while Eintracht Frankfurt are one of the leakiest sides in the league this season, conceding an average of 1.88 goals per game from their 26 matches.

The Bundesliga is averaging 3.1 goals a game this season, and over 2.5 goals has been a winning bet in nine of Eintracht Frankfurt’s 13 away games.

Mainz have scored in ten of their last 11 league games, while Eintracht Frankfurt are one of the highest-scoring teams in the division, with only four teams having more goals than their total of 49 this season. They have scored three or more goals in eight of their 26 games.

Mainz have drawn three of their last four in the Bundesliga and Eintracht Frankfurt four of their last six on the road, and there should be goals at both ends here. There have been four or more goals in 14 of Eintracht Frankfurt’s 26 league games this season, and 2-2 appeals as a correct-score pick.
