Mainz looked nailed on for a win despite the single-goal lead, but Frankfurt have shown fight and proved you are never out of any game. There is still time for either side to win this!

This game isn't over just yet, but we still haven't seen much attacking from the visitors of late.

Mainz swap Nelson Weiper for another young attacking talent, Brajan Gruda, while Kolo Muani is taken off as Frankfurt hunt a way back into this.

Mainz get us back underway. Frankfurt had 58% possession in the first period but had just one shot - a figure they need to improve upon.

Eintracht have now conceded at least one goal in 21 consecutive Bundesliga away matches.

The eagerness of both sides to win the ball back quickly with sharp pressing has also been notable in the early stages. There is a nice intensity to it, but there are no chances to note yet.

The hosts have kept the ball circulating nicely, with Frankfurt sitting fairly deep and looking to pounce on the break.

You can forget what I said about the sun five minutes ago, as it is now lashing down with rain in Mainz as Frankfurt's men in black kick off.

The sun is shining and the fans are in full voice - everything is set up as the teams prepare to head out onto the field.

Mainz's French striker injured his thigh in the warm-up and is replaced by Weiper in the starting line-up.

There are three much-needed points to play for, with wins not easy for Mainz to come by recently - or indeed for Frankfurt on their travels. With Mainz just a short way down the River Mainz from Frankfurt, there is also a whole lot of local pride at stake this afternoon!

Bo Svensson makes three changes to the side beaten 4-1 at Union Berlin on the season's opening weekend. Leitsch, van den Berg and Mwene are all named in the starting XI with Bell and da Costa on the bench while Onisiwo misses today's game due to illness.

Eintracht have been forced into some early season rotation due to their European commitments, having returned from a UEFA Conference League play-off on Thursday in Bulgaria. Four changes are made to the side that started that one - Smolcic, Jakic, Knauff and Max are in while Buta, Tuta, Dina Ebimbe and Hauge are all moved to the bench.

Zentner (c) – Leitsch, Fernandes, van den Berg – Mwene, Barreiro, Kohr, Caci – Stach – Lee, Ajorque

Trapp (c) – Koch, Smolcic, Pacho – Knauff, Shkiri, Jakic, Max – Götze, Marmoush - Kolo Muani

The 05ers were blasted away by Union on Matchday 1 and will be hoping for better luck on home soil today. They won six, drew six more and lost five times on home soil last term, while Frankfurt struggled on their travels and won just four times away from home.

Frankfurt are unbeaten in their last six fixtures against Mainz, winning three and drawing the rest. However, that run was preceded by three straight defeats at the hands of Die Nullfünfer. The previous meeting at the MEWA Arena finished in a 1-1 draw, with Kolo Muani cancelling out Jonathan Burkardt's opener.
