Mainz will be away to Eintracht Frankfurt next in the Bundesliga seeking to climb out of the relegation zone. They come into this matchday 19 fixture sitting 16th in the standings while Frankfurt are sixth. Eintracht Frankfurt have seen an upturn in fortunes recently after a difficult close to last year. Dino Toppmoller’s men, who had won just two of their final nine games of 2023, haven’t lost in three outings. Two of those matches have ended in victory though they drew last time out. The Eagles earned a point in a 2-2 away to Darmstadt. This kept them in the European places albeit by goal difference. Frankfurt, who have won seven of their 18 matches thus far, have amassed 28 points. They haven’t lost to Mainz since 2020 and have won three of the seven meetings in this period.

Mainz are in desperate need of a win. Not since November have Jan Siewert’s men claimed all the spoils in a contest. Their struggles have already forced through a coaching change with Bo Svensson paving way for Siewert. The German tactician orchestrated a shock 2-0 victory over Leipzig in his first game in charge. It was their first win of the campaign and many expected it to be the turning point. But since then, Mainz haven’t won. Despite finding it hard to win, the Carnival Club has proved difficult to defeat. They have lost just twice in their current seven-game run without a win. The five points picked up in this period have moved them now to within three points of safety. Mainz are tied on 11 points with the other two teams in the relegation zone. They have drawn their last two matches 1-1 with the most recent point coming at home against Wolfsburg.
