An important duel in the bottom section of the Bundesliga, with both Mainz 05 and Augsburg experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 17th and the visitors in 13th place.
- Mainz 05 has the fewest scored goals in the second half (8) in Bundesliga
- Augsburg have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Mainz 05 form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Bundesliga this season. Mainz 05 have only managed 2 wins, 2 draws and 7 losses from their games here at OPEL ARENA. Two home wins in a row for Mainz 05 bring valid hopes of a third.
It's back home for Mainz 05, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Borussia M'gladbach away with the result 2-1. Kevin Stöger and Karim Onisiwo found the net in that victory. Before that, Mainz played out a draw 2-2 when visiting Bayer Leverkusen.
World class coaching! That was the thoughts of B. Svensson when Kevin Stöger scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 64th minute.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Mainz 05 have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found seven games) they have won three times, drawn three and lost one.
Mainz have scored 10 league goals here from 11 matches, not a lot. Mainz 05 have conceded 19 from these games.
Augsburg form and stats
The visitors are W3-D2-L5 on the road this term. That's in the Bundesliga. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Augsburg's last three away games as they have all been lost.
