Augsburg vs Mainz prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2025-09-19 13:30.
[p]Both Augsburg and Mainz come into this matchday four clash in the bottom half of the Bundesliga after defeats last weekend.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Despite winning their opening game of the season, it feels like Augsburg have picked up from where they left off last term. Including the tail end of last season, Augsburg have now lost six of their last seven league games, and perhaps more worryingly they’re winless in five Bundesliga outings at the WWK Arena (D1, L4). Given they scored in all four of those defeats and still ended up on the losing side, shoring up the defence could be key to ensuring Augsburg don’t slump to four successive home Bundesliga defeats for the first time since April 2018. [/p]
[p]Only goal difference keeps Mainz out of the bottom three at this early stage in the season as they’ve collected just a single point from their opening three league games. Slow starts are becoming all too familiar for Mainz, who have now failed to win any of their opening three Bundesliga games in three successive seasons. Perhaps they’ll be encouraged by their first win coming on matchday four last season, and history repeating itself certainly appears a distinct possibility given four of Mainz’s last five Bundesliga victories came on the road.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Against current Bundesliga teams, Augsburg have won a joint-club high 16 historical games against Mainz (D7, L15). Augsburg have won seven of the last nine H2Hs they hosted (L2), although both defeats came in the last three such meetings. Â [/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]

[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Augsburg’s Fabian Rieder opened the scoring after 16 minutes against St Pauli last weekend, but his four club goals prior all arrived after the 85th minute, including one against Mainz for Stuttgart last season. A goal from new recruit William Bøving could help Mainz get their first win of the season as he’s unbeaten in his last 14 scoring appearances at club level (W10, D4). [/p]
