On Saturday, Eintracht Frankfurt welcomes Mainz for a meeting on the 30th day of the Bundesliga. Both teams must take points to increase their lead in the red zone.
Rather exciting last season with notably a good European course which led him to the semi-final of the Europa League, Eintracht Frankfurt has not confirmed this year. Indeed, a few weeks before the end of the season, he finds himself having to take points to ensure his maintenance. After losing 5 consecutive league games, the Eagles were then held in check by Friborg (3-3) before finally achieving success against Wolfsburg (1-2). Wednesday evening, Kevin Trapp’s partners followed suit by making the difference in the 2nd period against Werder Bremen during a late match of the 26th day (0-3) and took a big step towards maintenance.
For its part, Mainz is more used to having to fight not to go down to the lower floor. But this end of the season does not bode well for the club, which is only 15th in the ranking with only a small point ahead of the roadblocker. Unable to win a single match in 5 days, the partners of former Lyonnais Matetat were swept by Leipzig (0-5) before sharing the points with Union Berlin (1-1). Finally, last weekend, they were beaten again by Hoffenheim at home (0-1).
The Eagles still cannot count on the important striker Paciencia who is injured like the former Rennais Gelson Fernandes. However, the Torro midfielder should be back from suspension. Facing Bremen on Wednesday evening, Portuguese striker André Silva scored his 8th goal of the season while Austrian midfielder Ilsanker signaled his double.
Opposite, Mainz should make the trip without its doorman # 1 Zentner who is recovering. Return, however, of Captain Latza who has served his suspension. Absent last weekend, the titular defender St Juste could make his return. With 62 goals conceded, the team has the worst defense in Germany.
Mainz won in the first leg (2-1).
Frankfurt will play its 3rd match in a week.
The match will be played behind closed doors.
In the wake of its good performance on Wednesday evening, the Eintracht could win and thus definitively assured its maintenance. Victory Eintracht Frankfurt!
