1. FSV Mainz 05 have only lost one of their 16 Bundesliga home games against Eintracht Frankfurt (W6, D9): 2-0 on 9th January 2021 under Bo Svensson. SGE’s win percentage in Mainz in the Bundesliga is lower than away against any other current top-flight side (6%).
Eintracht Frankfurt are six points clear of fifth place – since the introduction of three points for a win, no side has ever blown such a big advantage over the last three matchdays. The Eagles now have the chance to finish in the top three for the first time since the 1992/93 season.
1. FSV Mainz 05 are unbeaten in their last 11 Bundesliga home games (W6, D5), the longest ongoing run of all top-flight sides and a joint club record during a single Bundesliga campaign (tied with an 11-game spell under Thomas Tuchel from August 2009 to February 2010).
1. FSV Mainz 05 are winless in their last six Bundesliga games (D3, L3; previously never more than 3 in a row under Bo Henriksen) for the first time since the turn of the year last season (11 matches back then) – of all sides in the division, only VfL Wolfsburg have been waiting longer for a top-flight win (7 games).
Eintracht Frankfurt’s 4-0 victory over RB Leipzig last time out was their second-biggest win in the Bundesliga this season (7-2 against Bochum at the start of November). It was SGE’s 16th win in the league in 2024/25, a joint club record after 31 games (together with 1974/75). Their tally of 55 points from 31 matchdays is just one point short of their club record (56 in both 2020/21 and 1991/92 using 3 points per win).
