Team News

Mainz
Augsburg
  • Jonathan Burkardt has suffered a thigh injury. Stefan Bell has a muscle problem, while Nadiem Amiri has some severe bruising to contend with.
  • Anthony Caci is suspended after picking up five yellow cards.
  • Cedric Zesiger is available after suspension, while Reece Oxford is still on the way back from long-COVID, and Yusuf Kabadayi has undergone knee surgery and will be out for several months.

Prediction

  • FCA are unbeaten in their last four league games, winning their last two away to move 12 points from relegation trouble.
  • Mainz have won seven of their last 11 games, including a win against Bayern, but have lost three of their last four to stagnate in sixth spot.
  • Augsburg often tend to struggle towards the bottom reaches of the table, but have never actually been relegated from the Bundesliga.
  • Augsburg were involved in DFB-Pokal action in midweek, so a preference is given to a fully rested Mainz on home soil with goals at a premium.

  • Mainz has won their last 5 home games, conceding just 2 goals. Augsburg has been in solid form, winning three of their last four Bundesliga matches. Six of the last seven H2H meetings have seen BTTS and over 2.5 goals, making over 2.5 goals a safer bet here.
