Mainz vs Eintracht Frankfurt Soccer Betting Picks – Bundesliga
The season is off to a bad start for Mainz who finds himself, quite logically, in the red zone with a very low total of 6 points garnered during the first 14 days. Far from it, the partners of Jean-Philippe Mateta accumulate the defeats but are not dropped so far in the standings since they are only 4 points behind the barrage. In December, they were able to take a point against Hertha Berlin (0-0) before losing to Werder (0-1) before the holidays. Last Saturday, they almost made a big blow by leading 2 goals at the break against Bayern before collapsing completely in the 2nd act (5-2).
For its part, Eintracht Frankfurt is in the process of rebuilding itself after a lacklustre start to the season. Not invited for the moment in the race for Europe, the Eagles have just achieved a fairly good series. After coming very close to victory against Mönchengladbach (3-3), they went for success in Augsburg (0-2) then they were able to continue last weekend against a very good team from Bayer Leverkusen (2 -1). Thanks to this small series, Kevin Trapp’s partners were able to take 8th place, 4 units away from 6th qualifying place for Europe.
