Stadium: Deutsche Bank Park (Frankfurt am Main)
20.12.2024 17:30
Over the past weekend, Mainz defeated Bayern Munich, who were now in first place in the table, by a score of 2-1 at MEWA ARENA. The victory allowed Bo Henriksen's team to climb up to seventh place in the Bundesliga standings based on their performance. It was their fourth victory in the five league matches that they had played at the time. By achieving a victory over Eintracht Frankfurt, who is now in third place, Mainz will be seeking to maintain their current level of success and bring the calendar year to a successful conclusion.
On Saturday afternoon, the Eintracht will be playing at Deutsche Bank Park for the fifteenth match of the matchday scheduled. Frankfurt is currently experiencing one of the most successful campaigns in the past few decades; yet, their performance has been rather lacking over the past few weeks. Dino Toppmoler's team has not been victorious in any of their last four matches across all competitions. During this journey, they have suffered three defeats and one draw.
On Sunday afternoon, the most recent of the failures reached its conclusion. Eintracht was defeated by RB Leipzig by a score of 1-2, and they allowed their opponents to have nine attempts on target in the Red Bull Arena.

Eintracht Frankfurt has had a shaky patch recently mainly due to some simple and avoidable mistakes, especially in their performance against Leipzig. The head coach seems to be unwavering in his commitment to inspire the fans, as seen by his assurance that he will give our fans a pre-Christmas present and give it our all once again in the match that will take place on Saturday.
Bayern Munich is currently in first place in the league, and Frankfurt is currently six points behind them. Bayer Leverkusen is currently in second place, two points behind Frankfurt. In spite of this, they have a slender four-point edge over Stuttgart, who is currently in sixth place, which makes their position in the Bundesliga rankings quite insecure.
A remarkable 34 goals have been scored by Eintracht Frankfurt this season, while they have only allowed 20 goals to be scored against them. This gives them the second-best offensive in the league and a defence that is ranked eighth overall. The fact that they have not won either of their most recent two Bundesliga matches and have suffered three defeats in their most recent four matches raises some worries about their current performance. Their prior run of four consecutive league triumphs stands in stark contrast to this drop in their performance.

The Mainz coach expressed his satisfaction with the performance of his team against Bayern, praising the tactical discipline and bravery displayed by the players. This victory is a significant accomplishment for Die Nullfonfer. Over the course of their most recent five matches, Mainz has been in particularly productive form, scoring thirteen goals while only allowing six goals against and keeping two clean sheets. On November 9, this remarkable run included a noteworthy victory over Nuri Şahin's Borussia Dortmund, which resulted in a 3-1 triumph.
The most recent results for Mainz have been really impressive, as they have won four of their previous five matches. Their impressive performance extends to matches played away from home, where they have prevailed five times, tied twice, and suffered only one defeat in their most recent eight matches, demonstrating their efficiency when playing away from home.

As a result of their four victories in their most recent five league matches, Mainz brings a considerably more positive attitude into the match. One of Eintracht Frankfurt's previous four matches in all competitions ended in a draw, while the other three were losses. Over the past few weeks, Frankfurt has been particularly ineffective in defence. In every single one of their most recent four matches, they have conceded at least two goals.
Considering the type of football Mainz played against Bayern, I think Mainz will win or draw. However, BTTS is the sure bet.
