Eintracht Frankfurt
Eintracht suffered a defeat in the last championship round, after a series of five games without defeat. The Eagles also took the Cup victory in the second round against Heidenheim, but then ended the series in Augsburg. It was not a very strong opponent, but Eintracht played the worst game of the season and was 3-0 down. Until then Eintracht lost five times, each time close, while he was completely duped in Augsburg.
The starting eleven looked much the same as home against Borussia M’gladbahc when the Eagles won 2-0. Only striker Rebic was missing card due. Jovic could not replace him successfully. Now Rebic comes back, while Fabian should act in midfield instead of Gacinovic.

Mainz
The Mainzers can be satisfied with their cup appearance, but the problem is the championship. They are playing worse and worse and are sliding down more and more. In the last nine rounds they have won only once, at home against Stuttgart (3: 2). They have also won against this opponent in the previous round of the cup. A big problem for Mainz this season are the away games. They were only able to beat Hansa in the first round, while they have not yet won a single championship victory. The previous two appearances Mainz lost 0: 2. The opponents were also very strong, and it went first to Leverkusen and in the last round Bayern was received.
In Leverkusen, they were completely dubbed, but conceded both goals in the second half. Against Bayern they had more chances, but conceded both goals in the first half. Coach Schwarz made a number of changes after the game against Leverkusen against the current leaders, but it did not help. Now it should come to even more changes and come back Brosinski, N.de Jong, Serdar and Quaison, while at the point of attack newcomer Ujah should play.
Scheduled lineup Mainz: Zentner – Gbamin, Hack, Diallo – Donati, N.de Jong, Brosinski – S.Serdar, Latza – Quaison, Ujah
Eintracht Frankfurt – Mainz TIP
In general Eintracht plays better, but at home it does not look very good. Mainz plays even worse as a guest and has to devote more of the championship. That’s why we see the hosts at an advantage.
