Eintracht Frankfurt vs Mainz Prediction & Betting Tips (21 December)

After having been on cloud nine for a long time in recent weeks, Eintracht Frankfurt had to fall into line during their last meetings. Heavily defeated by Leipzig in the 1/8 final of the German Cup 3-0, the Capricious Diva then had to lose points in the championship against Augsburg 2-2. And they lost again last Sunday against Leipzig, this time during a Bundesliga match 2-1, thus seeing themselves relegated to the 3rd step of the podium, 6 points behind the Munich leader. In the meantime, the Eagles had also been brought back to earth by Olympique Lyonnais during a 3-2 Europa League performance. On the other side of the median, Mainz can boast of being among the good surprises of this championship.

While it was forced to fight until the end to validate its retention in the Bundesliga last year, this team has already come a good part of the way in this first part of the season and it could begin to harbor some ambitions since it is installed on the 7th spot in the ranking, a short distance from the top 6 in Europe. In great form, the FsV had 3 successes against Dortmund 3-1, Holstein Kiel 0-3 and Hoffenheim 2-0 before falling against Wolfsburg defeat 4-3. But last weekend, the Nullfünfer pulled off a big blow by knocking out Bayern Munich 2-1.

The Eagles will negotiate this poster without their attacker replacing Amenda and without the important midfielder Larsson. Otherwise, all of this team's trump cards will be operational for this match, starting with the formidable Omar Marmoush. Author of 13 goals scored and 7 assists delivered in championship and 4 goals in C3, the Egyptian international is undoubtedly the main architect of Eintracht's good first part of the season. Former Parisian Hugo Ekitike (7 goals, 3 assists in the Bundesliga; 1 goal, 2 assists in C3) is also showing his best side this season and the two men should undoubtedly be present at the kick-off. Opposite, midfielder Vidovic and substitute Weiper will still have to pass their turn for this poster. Midfielder Tauer and defender Da Costa also risk having to give up.

Coming out injured last weekend against Bayern, striker Sieb also risks remaining in treatment. Conversely, the prolific Jonathan Burkardt is available, he who has already reached the mark of 10 goals scored in the Bundesliga this season. The Nebel environment and the captains Amiri and Lee Jae-Sung will be there too. The last city also remains on a double scored against Bayern for what were its 4th and 5th goals of the season.
