Neither Frankfurt nor Mainz have come close to replicating their form of last season, although Mainz will be the more concerned of the pair. The visitors have picked up just five points from their opening nine, meanwhile, Frankfurt have racked up 14 in the same number of games.

The hosts have, however, been remarkably consistent at producing excitement, with their matches yielding the most goals of any side in Europe’s top five leagues. They’re tied with Barcelona in that respect, with 41, despite having played two fewer games.

📈 Frankfurt v Mainz Form & Stats

To provide a bit of context to this clash, both Frankfurt and Mainz were highly competitive last season, finishing 3rd and 6th respectively, and in doing so, securing European football for this campaign.

Things haven’t gone to plan for either side since then, although Mainz have definitely had the worst of it. Having picked up a mere five points from their opening nine games, Mainz sit firmly in the relegation zone, with only goal difference separating them from bottom place.

Interestingly, Mainz’s continental performances couldn’t be much further removed; their midweek victory against Fiorentina made it three wins out of three in the Europa Conference League.

Eintracht Frankfurt’s early–season form hasn’t been nearly as catastrophic, but following last season's success, Dino Toppmöller surely would have envisioned a greater sum of points than the 14 they’ve managed after nine games played.

Still, the fans have had plenty to cheer about, given Frankfurt’s matches have been amongst Europe’s most exciting. Their league games have produced a remarkable average of 4.56 goals scored, with Frankfurt themselves accounting for 2.44 per game.

Each and every one of their league games has seen the net ripple at least twice, with 67% of them seeing the keeper beaten on four or more occasions.
