FC Augsburg – FSV Mainz
Relegation battle in the Bundesliga. On the fifth matchday, FCA receives the red lantern of the Bundesliga from Mainz. Both clubs have had the worst possible start to the season and are still waiting for their first Bundesliga win. Augsburg have won only one of their last 16 competitive games. The Mainz team was able to celebrate a 1:0 victory in the DFB Cup, but in the league it is still only good enough for last place.

Augsburg Form & Balance Check
After just managing to avoid relegation last season by finishing 15th in the table, the situation is currently nothing better. After four matchdays, FCA have two points on their account, which means 15th place in the table. However, not everything is black at FCA. After the high-scoring 4:4 start against Gladbach, they conceded two away defeats against Bayern and Leipzig, which they can certainly live with. However, with a 2:2 draw against Bochum, more would have been possible for the Fuggerstädter in the end.
A lack of consistency
For Augsburg, the focus will be on staying in the league for a long time to come. Although they are not really dangerous in front of goal, the twelve goals they conceded are more likely to break their neck. FCA’s last victory came at the beginning of May against Union Berlin with a 1:0 win. After that, there were six defeats and two draws for Augsburg – a long dry spell.
Augsburg facts & analysis
- Unbeaten at home
- Fifteenth in the table
- Without a win in the season
Mainz Form & Balance Check
After a solid 9th place in the table last season, things are not going well for the 05ers at all. Bo Svensson is currently unable to build on last season’s performance and Mainz’s last win dates back to April 2023 against Bayern. The last away point came on the last matchday of 2022/23 in a 2-2 draw in Dortmund. After the 1:3 defeat on the last matchday against Stuttgart, the 05ers also slipped to the last place in the table.
Building sites everywhere
Both the offensive (3 goals) and the defensive (12 goals conceded) are in need of improvement. For the first time under Bo Svensson, Mainz have gone a season-long nine games without a win – that’s the longest streak under Svensson and it’s starting to get tight for the Dane too.
Mainz facts & analysis
- Twelve goals conceded in four games
- Nine games without a win
- Last in the table
