Augsburg

LLDLDL ⚠

Augsburg will be looking for an improved result here following the 3-0 Bundesliga 1 defeat last time out to RB Leipzig.

In that game, Augsburg had 46% possession and 16 shots at goal with 5 of them on target. For their opponents, RB Leipzig had 9 shots on goal with 6 of them on target. Xavi Simons (6'), Loïs Openda (11') and David Raum (27') scored for RB Leipzig.

It has been seldom in recent games that Augsburg have kept a clean sheet. The facts show that Augsburg have seen their defence breached in 6 of their previous 6 games, shipping 16 goals during that time. With no two games being the same, we will just have to wait and see if that trend shall be maintained in this upcoming match.

Their prior results show that Augsburg:

• have not beaten Mainz in their previous 2 league matches.
• are unbeaten in their last 2 league matches at home.
• haven’t won at home in the past 3 league games.

Mainz

Illustrating their partiality to fruitful encounters, we’ve seen goals 20 times in the prior 6 matches in which Mainz have sent out their troops, yielding an average of 3.33 goals for each fixture. Their opponents have got 14 of those goals.

Heading into this fixture, Mainz are without a win away from home in their last 6 matches in the league.
