This match features two teams living in the basement of the Bundesliga, Mainz 05 holding 15th place and Augsburg lying 14th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Augsburg are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
Mainz 05 form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Bundesliga this season. Mainz 05 have only managed 4 wins, 2 draws and 9 losses from their games here at OPEL ARENA. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Mainz, their manager A. Beierlorzer and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.
It's back home for Mainz, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Eintracht Frankfurt away with the result 2-0. Pierre Kunde and Moussa Niakhaté found the net in that victory. Ahead of that match, Mainz lost 0-1 at home to Hoffenheim.
This is expected to be a close game, with Mainz 05 perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Mainz 05 as a small favourite), we find six games. Mainz 05 has won two of these, drawn one and lost three.
There will be little rest for Mainz after this match as they are travelling to Borussia Dortmund for a Bundesliga game in only three days.
Mainz has scored 15 league goals at home this season, in 15 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 27 goals have been conceded.
Augsburg form and stats
There's been little loot from Augsburg's travels as they have only collected 12 points from 15 away games in the Bundesliga. Augsburg only have 3 wins to counter their 9 defeats and 3 draws.
Augsburg delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Köln (placed 12th) in their previous match; a Bundesliga game. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Hertha BSC wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Augsburg playing away and similar expectations, we found six relevant matches. Results were four Augsburg wins, zero draws and two defeats.
After this away game Augsburg return home for a Bundesliga game against Hoffenheim. That game is only three sleeps after this.
The visiting Augsburg have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 15 goals from 15 games. Augsburg have conceded 33 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
