Mainz 05 vs Eintracht Frankfurt: match statistics
Eintracht Frankfurt are in significantly better form over their last five matches, averaging 2.0 points per game compared to Mainz's 1.8. Mainz have poor home form with just a 23% win rate and a high 38% defeat rate at home, coupled with a high rate of matches without scoring (38%). Despite a low away win rate (23%), Frankfurt demonstrate much higher attacking efficiency with a shot conversion rate of 19% and an average of 2.0 goals per away match. Their dominance in possession (56% for Frankfurt vs. 48% for Mainz) and superior recent form (3 wins in the last 5 matches) favor the visitors. Considering Mainz's negative home goal difference (-1) and their higher average xG compared to actual results, I anticipate a difficult match for both sides; however, Frankfurt should be able to capitalize on their technical and offensive superiority.
