Frankfurt against Mainz: The 10th Bundesliga duel with great importance!

The 10th matchday is on the program in the Bundesliga, and on Sunday, November 9th, 2025, Eintracht Frankfurt will welcome FSV Mainz 05 to the stadium. Kick-off takes place at 7:30 p.m. Frankfurt comes into this duel with a solid record, as the team has only suffered a few defeats since April. The top scorers list is also led by FC Bayern alone, while Frankfurt occupies an impressive second position. Betting friends reported that Eintracht has only lost one of the last ten duels against Mainz, which should further heat up the mood in the team. But if Frankfurt are not careful, they could expose themselves again, like in the last game against Mainz, which ended 1:3.

Mainz, on the other hand, has had a mixed season and is deep in the relegation zone. With just 5 points from 9 games, the 05ers had the second-worst start to the season. The club record doesn't speak for them either: in the last 20 Bundesliga games they haven't been able to record a single shutout. Their defense shows serious weaknesses as they try to put early pressure on the opponent through high pressing. They did win a point in their last game, but a 1-1 draw against Heidenheim isn't exactly what one would consider a success. Yahoo Sports reports that Frankfurt last played in Heidenheim and the game ended in a draw.

Statistics and betting odds

Eintracht Frankfurt have scored 22 goals this season with an expected goals (xG) of 14.1, making them the biggest overperformance in the league. This ensured that the betting odds for a Frankfurt win are 1.88, with a probability of around 50 percent for a home win. A draw is rated at 3.90 (26% probability), while a win for Mainz is rated at 3.70 (24% probability). All of this speaks for unity, even if those responsible knew that one should never throw in the towel.

The loss of Can Uzun will be particularly painful for Frankfurt, who has already contributed 6 goals and 4 assists this season. Eintracht is heading towards the Champions League places and is just four points behind the coveted places. This brings additional pressure and motivation.

Conclusion and outlook

So what awaits us in this game? Frankfurt comes into the match as favorites, but Mainz have proven in the past that they can hold their own even against supposedly stronger opponents. The last five encounters speak for Eintracht, but the last duel shows that Mainz can strike if necessary, despite Frankfurt's superiority in ball possession and shots on goal. The Cologne fans are hoping for an exciting game in which there will definitely be no shortage of excitement. The anticipation is great - and so it's true: There's something coming!
