Mainz vs Eintracht Frankfurt prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2022-11-12 14:30.
Mainz remain badly out of form following a strong start, going down 1-0 in midweek to bottom club Schalke after conceding nine goals across their previous two outings. It gets no easier here either, with the now bottom-half 05ers preparing to face an Eintracht Frankfurt side flying high in the top-four, and who they have failed to beat in their last two home H2Hs.
Times are clearly tough right now, but as a small positive, Mainz have avoided defeat in their two prior home games vs current top-six opposition (D2), contributing to a very respectable Bundesliga record as home outsiders going back to the start of last term (W4, D2, L1).
Visiting Frankfurt’s run of four 2-1 scorelines (W3, L1) came to a halt for the right reasons in a 4-2 win against Hoffenheim last time out. A three-goal blitz inside the first half-hour flaunted their true destructive potential, and put them in with a chance of smashing the club’s century-high points tally from 15 Bundesliga rounds (26), first set in 2016/17 and emulated two years later.
Poor away results at the end of both campaigns cost them a top-four finish those seasons, but times look like they may have changed, as the Eagles perch on the brink of five straight competitive away wins. That is something never seen at the club during the lifetime of coach Oliver Glasner – who was born in 1974 – and as he’s got a strong managerial record vs Mainz (W4, D1, L1), there looks to be a good setup for history to be made.
Players to watch: Mainz’s Marcus Ingvartsen netted twice in last season’s H2H clash here back in May, but if he proves just as troublesome, the visitors could count on Junior Dina Ebimbe to respond. The French U21 international completed Frankfurt’s heavenly half-hour in midweek, meaning that six of his eight prior club career goals have been matchwinners!
Hot stat: Frankfurt are the only team unbreached in away league action between the 31st-60th minute.
