Eintracht Frankfurt vs Mainz prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2025-11-08 18:30.
[p]Two sides competing in midweek European action clash to close out the weekend’s Bundesliga action as top-six chasers Eintracht Frankfurt welcome their relegation-threatened Rhine-Main derby rivals Mainz. [/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]After grinding out a draw away to Italian champions Napoli in midweek UEFA Champions League action, Frankfurt must swiftly turn their attention back to Bundesliga matters as they seek consistency in the early-season race for Europe. Their only defeat across the previous five Bundesliga rounds came against Bayern (W2, D2), though they did have to come from behind to draw in two of their last three outings. The Eagles’ last three home league games directly followed European commitments, and as two of those ended in defeat (W1), they could be vulnerable to an upset here.[/p]
[p]Mainz make the short trip across the Rhine after scoring late to beat Fiorentina 2-1 in midweek European action, a result which ended their three-game winless run across all competitions (D1, L2). Competing on multiple fronts seems to have limited their ability to succeed in the league as only once in history have they recorded fewer than their current five points after nine Bundesliga rounds (W1, D2, L6). The fact that Bo Henriksen’s side’s only league victory came away from home offers some hope, although their forwards will likely need to be firing to repeat the act as the 05ers are without an away league clean sheet since February. [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Frankfurt have lost just one of the last ten Bundesliga H2Hs (W4, D5), although that defeat did come in last season’s corresponding fixture (3-1). Frankfurt haven’t suffered back-to-back home defeats in this derby since 2020. [/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Eight of Frankfurt’s last 11 league fixtures have featured over 3.5 goals.[/p]
[p]Frankfurt have conceded a pre-round league-high seven goals after the 75th minute this season.[/p]

[p]Mainz average a league-low 1.33 points per game when scoring first this season (W1, D1, L1). [/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Frankfurt’s Rasmus Kristensen opened his Bundesliga account for the season last weekend and faces his favourite opponents here as he scored both home and away against Mainz last season. Benedict Hollerbach has contributed to goals in his last two appearances for Mainz following his midweek equaliser (G1, A1), and he also scored against Frankfurt last season as an Union Berlin player. [/p]
[p]Frankfurt’s Farès Chaïbi has picked up a knock and is doubtful here, while Mainz seem to have no fresh injury concerns. [/p]
