Mainz take on the visitors Eintracht Frankfurt in the round 15 match of German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Sunday, November 13th at Mewa Arena (Mainz).
Mainz are not consitent enough to claim anything more than a place in the middle of the table. The "Carnival" at the beginning of last calendar year appointed coach Bo Svensson, his own former football player. The Dane as a coach is obviously stronger than he was as a defender (he played in Germany for a long time, but not very often), and ensured noticeable progress for the team. He even seems to be claiming to fight for places in European competition. But still, it seems that the club has a certain ceiling. They finished only 8th last season, and this season they alternate between successful periods and failures. Recently there were 3 victories in a row (though including the cup), but this was followed by defeats: 3-6 with Bayern, 0-3 with Wolfsburg. A 0-1 with a crisis of Schalke can not be interpreted otherwise than a complete failure.
Eintracht have a decent season. The Eagles have brought in Oliver Glasner to replace outgoing Adi Hütter in 2021. Under him, the team rolled back to the bottom of the Bundesliga standings, but at the same time they were able to more than compensate for everything by winning the Europa League. This allowed the Germans to play in the Champions League now, and they seized the chance, having managed to bypass Sporting with Marseille in a difficult struggle and reach the playoffs of the tournament. Despite this "international" workload, Eintracht gradually gained momentum in the Bundesliga. Having started there with 2 points in 3 starting rounds, then the team managed to win most of the matches and rose to the European Cup zone. In recent match against Hoffenheim they scored three times in half an hour and eventually won 4-2.
In the last two German championships, an identical scenario was repeated. Eintracht took against Mainz 4 points out of 6 possible. Mainz is out of shape and should be exploited. A passing option looks like a bet on visitors with a handicap of "0".
Prediction for the match: Eintracht Frankfurt to win with 0.0 handicap.
