Mainz vs Eintracht Frankfurt: Prediction and odds on the match on 04 May 2025
Prediction for the Bundesliga match on May 04 between Mainz and Eintracht Frankfurt. This derby will be exciting for both teams as a win for either team will help the team qualify for European football. While Mainz is just 1 point behind Dortmund for the final qualification spot for European football, Eintracht Frankfurt is been pursued by Freiburg and Leipzig, and both teams will want to overtake Eintracht for a Champions League qualification spot. This dilemma presents a potentially interesting game.

Mainz 05 has one of the strongest home forms, and this is one of the team's biggest strengths and the envy of some clubs. With 11 wins from 24 games played and averaging 1.7 goals scored per home game, Mainz has shown fans and football enthusiasts that it is a tough opponent at the MEWA Arena. Also, the ability of Mainz to grind out results, especially in front of their fan, has been very important in avoiding relegation.
Mainz has shown that they are resilient by securing wins against strong teams like RB Leipzig and Borussia Mönchengladbach in recent away fixtures, although Mainz also lost to Hoffenheim and drew against Holstein Kiel. These inconsistent results are the reason why Mainz are middle of the table and not the upper half.
Mainz: Lineup
Main will likely stick to their famous 3-4-2-1 formation, which has helped the team get some valuable points, especially when playing at the Mewa Arena. Although Mainz has shown solid home form, the absence of Mwene, Nebel, and Leitsch could really affect the team, although Henriksen would make some tactical tweaks to account for the unavailability of these players.
Henriksen will turn to Brajan Gruda and Lee Jae-sung to provide support for Ajorque in attack, while Barreiro and Kohr will marshal the midfield and dictate the tempo of the game. In defence, the team has been very solid recently.

Eintracht Frankfurt: form and statistics
A win for Eintracht Frankfurt will most certainly confirm Champions League football. Hence the team will go into this game with good momentum and a very clear objective, i.e. finish in a Champions League spot by strengthening their league standing, and this begins by winning this game. Of the two teams, Eintracht Frankfurt really have something to play for in this game. Away from home, Eintracht Frankfurt has 9 wins, 7 losses and 4 draws while averaging 1.6 goals per game and conceding 1.4 goals per game. These numbers can be the envy of many other clubs, especially away from home.
It is worth mentioning that their recent form is not all that rosy, as it is mixed with some unwanted statistics, but the win over Werder Bremen and Heidenheim are games that can give Eintracht something to repeat. After the departure of Marmoush, it was expected that the goals would dry up, but this is not the case. As a top-four finish is very possible for Eintracht, I expect them to play aggressively right from the start.
Eintracht Frankfurt: Lineup
Eintracht Frankfurt is still with a few very notable players absent from the match day squad, but the recent form and statistics of Eintracht away from home might give the team some cause for joy. Irrespective of the players that come in, the head coach can assemble a team for this game that can quickly adapt and help the team fly.
Key players like Junior Dina Ebimbe, Krisztián Lisztes, and Elias İsmail are all missing, but Dino will be optimistic that their replacement can do the job. With Hugo Ekitike in attack and Mario Gotze distributing the passing and playing key passes, Eintracht have enough.
🔖 Eintracht Frankfurt predicted lineup (4-2-3-1)
Kaua – Kristensen, Tuta, Koch, Theate – Emmanuel, Skhiri – Matteo, Gotze, Brown – Ekitiké
⛔️ Out: Dina Ebimbe, Lisztes, Elias İsmail (injured)
👤 Head coach: Dino Toppmöller
