Augsburg Form & Bilanz Check
Augsburg had a bumpy start to the Bundesliga with a draw and a clear defeat. In their last match against St. Pauli, however, Augsburg won 3:1. The first half was very unspectacular, without any goals. The second half got going: Wolf scored the 1:0 for FCA in the 47th minute. Tietz made it 2-0 in the 66th minute with an assist from Onyeka. St. Pauli were able to score an equalizer in the 74th minute. In stoppage time, 90+6, Kabakadi ended the game with the 3:1 for Augsburg. It was an exciting game with highs and lows.
Goal-prone
Augsburg have conceded at least one goal in their last five games and have conceded a total of nine goals. The defense must avoid these mistakes in order to build long-term stability. It could be fatal against Mainz if they act recklessly.

Mainz Form & Balance Check
Mainz had a difficult start to the Bundesliga with two draws and most recently a bitter defeat against Werder Bremen. Bremen took the lead with a penalty in the 8th minute, but Lee Jae-sung equalized in the 27th minute to make it 1:1. Despite the red card for Werder Bremen in the 60th minute after Friedl was sent off for a bad foul, Mainz were unable to develop any penetrating power when outnumbered.
New signing Köhn scored the opening goal for Bremen in the 69th minute and the game ended 1-2 for Bremen in the 90th minute, with Mainz unable to capitalize on their superior numbers.
Amiri and Burkardt in top form
Nadiem Amiri has already scored two goals in three games so far and put in a strong performance in the last game against Werder Bremen, although the whole team performance was not good. Amiri always brings good ideas to the game and likes to build it up, which is why he will play an important role in the Mainz starting eleven this season.
Burkhardt, who scored eight goals and provided two assists in 21 games last season, is now in his seventh professional season at Mainz and has developed into a leading player. He has already scored one goal in three games this season and more goals are certainly on the cards.
Mainz Facts & Analysis
- Mainz have not won their last four games
- 15. Platz in der Bundesliga
- Auswärtsstärke
Augsburg will line up in a 4-5-1 system, similar to the game against St. Pauli, which has proven successful of late. However, the coach will be without Reece Oxford (back in training) and Robert Gumny (cruciate ligament rupture).
Mainz will line up with a 3-4-2-1 system, as in the last Bundesliga game, as they have no absentees. This formation allows them to be defensively stable as well as to set offensive accents.
Augsburg – Mainz head-to-head & statistics
In total, both teams have played 36 games against each other. Augsburg have won 16 of these games, while Mainz have won 14. Six games ended in a draw. Augsburg have a slight lead in the standings, but the match will still be exciting.
