Frankfurt are currently one of the top performers in the German top flight, and they are in possession of the fourth spot. The reigning Europa League champions will easily be the favorites this Sunday to secure a win against the struggling Mainz.
Mainz are currently placed 11th in the table, and along with the 18th placed Hertha Berlin they are one of the only two teams in the whole league to have lost the last three fixtures in a row.
They have easily been one of the worst teams in the Bundesliga at home this season. Only Augsburg scored fewer points than them in such matches, and all through their run they were able to secure just a single win from their home appearances.
This sole victory came against the out-of-form Koln, who are also in the bottom half of the table.
Meanwhile, not only do Frankfurt need a single point to climb level with the second-placed Union Berlin, but this upcoming match-day sees the Berlin-based team taking on the third-placed Freiburg.
At least one of the two will drop points and this is a great opportunity for Eintracht to sit just below Bayern in the league table.
The latest encounter ended in a 2-2 draw.
Frankfurt won three of the past five meetings.
At this venue, it’s been three years since the hosts won.
Seven of the former nine match-ups at this ground had goals from both teams.





译文(自动翻译仅供参考):

法兰克福目前是德国顶级联赛中表现最好的球队之一，他们占据了第四的位置。卫冕欧联杯冠军很容易成为本周日对阵苦苦挣扎的美因茨的夺冠热门。
美因茨目前排在积分榜第11位，与排在第18位的柏林赫塔一起，他们是整个联赛中仅有的两支连输三场比赛的球队之一。
他们在本赛季的主场轻松成为德甲最差的球队之一。在这样的比赛中，只有奥格斯堡的得分比他们少，而且在整个比赛过程中，他们只在主场取得了一场胜利。
唯一的胜利来自于状态不佳的科隆，他们同样位于积分榜的下半区。
与此同时，法兰克福不仅需要一分才能追平排名第二的联合柏林，而且在即将到来的比赛日，柏林球队将对阵排名第三的弗赖堡。
这两家球队中至少有一家会丢分，这对埃茵赫特来说是一个很好的机会，可以在积分榜上排在拜仁之后。
最近的一次交锋以2比2战平结束。
法兰克福队在过去的五次交锋中赢得了三次胜利。
在这里，东道主已经三年没赢过了。
在之前的9场比赛中，有7场双方都有进球。
