📋 Team News: Eintracht Frankfurt

It’s a low absenteeism rate, with just the sole fitness concern for the Eintracht Frankfurt gaffer Adi Hütter to be concerned about thanks to an almost full-strength squad. Gonçalo Paciência (Muscle injury) is sidelined. The players who will not be able to play in this game through being suspended are Dominik Kohr and Lucas Torró.

We are thinking that Eintracht should use a 3-4-3 system in the match featuring Kevin Trapp, Makoto Hasebe, Martin Hinteregger, David Abraham, Filip Kostic, Sebastian Rode, Dominik Kohr, Timothy Chandler, Andre Silva, Daichi Kamada and Bas Dost.

🗞️ Team News: Mainz

It’s our belief that Mainz could decide to begin the game with a 4-4-1-1 lineup, giving starts to Florian Müller, Daniel Brosinski, Jeffrey Bruma, Alexander Hack, Moussa Niakhate, Karim Onisiwo, Leandro Barreiro Martins, Pierre Kunde, Jean-Paul Boëtius, Robin Quaison and Jean-Philippe Mateta.

✨ Prediction

It certainly seems that Mainz will do really well to be scoring even one goal against a Eintracht Frankfurt lineup who should be able to create a lot of chances for themselves and convert these into goals. Our tip is for a comprehensive 3-0 win for Eintracht Frankfurt by the conclusion of the match.
