Eintracht Frankfurt take on the visitors Mainz in the round 19 match of German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Friday, January 26th at Deutsche Bank Park (Frankfurt).
Eintracht Frankfurt had two completely different matches in the German championship after the winter break. First, they earned three points away against Leipzig (1-0), although they didn't deserve any. Then, also away, they played on equal terms with Darmstadt from the relegation zone, and the match predictably ended in a draw (2-2). It's time for the Eagles to show dominance on the field and win convincingly so that skeptics have no doubts. The home game against today's Mainz is an excellent opportunity for this. I'll talk about the visitors later. For now, I'll mention that in their last two home matches in the Bundesliga, Eintracht first crushed Bayern Munich (5-1) and then prevailed over Borussia Mönchengladbach (2-1).

Mainz are currently one of the outsiders of the championship, sitting in the third-to-last position in the table. And it's well deserved. The team looks very weak in attack, which is surprising in the German Bundesliga, where even the underdogs can score a lot. Only the Billy Goats are less frequent in finding the net this season, and they are also located at the bottom of the table. So, what about Mainz? The team hardly knows victories, often plays draws, but has already collected eight defeats. In December, for example, they lost not only to strong Freiburg (0-1) but also to modest Heidenheim (0-1), who was in the second Bundesliga just a year ago.
The hosts are in sixth place in the table. In terms of squad and ambitions, this is a team that should at least fight for a place in the European competitions, which they do year after year. As for Mainz in its current state, it is one of the main candidates for relegation. They are currently in the relegation playoff zone, but have the same number of points as Cologne and Darmstadt from the direct relegation zone to the second division. I consider Eintracht Frankfurt as the favorites of this match. And with odds of almost two, it would be a shame not to take the risk and try to bet on the hosts' victory. By the way, Mainz lost their last two visits to Frankfurt: 0-1 and 0-3.
Prediction for the match: Eintracht Frankfurt to win.
