Eintracht Frankfurt, meanwhile, are winless in their last eight league outings but will be content with making the UEFA Europa League final.

Mainz vs Eintracht Frankfurt Prediction
Mainz have a solid home record this term, keeping six clean sheets in their last nine games. They have been defeated just twice at Saturday's venue and are strong favourites to beat Frankfurt.
The game, meanwhile, provides a good opportunity for the visitors to warm up ahead of the UEFA Europa League final. They have lost their last two league games but should put up a fight. The game will likely end in a high-scoring draw.
Prediction: Mainz 2-2 Eintracht Frankfurt.
