Eintracht seek first Bundesliga victory against hosts Mainz 05

Eintracht travel to face 1. FSV Mainz 05 this weekend as the club hunts for its first league win of the 2026/27 campaign. Adi Hütter remains in a development phase with his squad following a 3-3 draw at Union Berlin and a 4-1 loss to FC Augsburg. While the team leads the league in distance covered with an average of 123.6 kilometres per game, the head coach identified defensive focus as an area for improvement. Conversely, Mainz 05 enters the fixture in fifth place after a 5-0 win over Hamburger SV last week and a draw against SC Paderborn. Midfielder Mario Götze emphasized the need for maximum performance to secure points against a side that has converted all five of its big chances this season. Urs Fischer manages the home side, which has limited opponents to few clear opportunities through two matchdays.
