Mainz 05 - Augsburg betting tips and odds

Mainz 05 might be heading into this game as firm favourites to get a win but they will have their work cut out for them as Augsburg are known to be highly unpredictable and capable of pulling a surprise when it is least expected.

It would be a minor miracle for Augsburg to win at Mainz, and they’re likely aware of that. Though risky, such an outcome could bring solid profits thanks to the 4.20 price on most online sportsbooks.

The hosts are coming off from a narrow away defeat Union Berlin from the previous Bundesliga fixture. They were never able to put up a real fight as they fell behind in the first 45 minutes and never got a chance to catch up despite the minimum goal deficit.

Augsburg must be feeling confident after the performance they gave the fans at OPEL ARENA during the second half of the last round’s match. Despite the very difficult matchup against Bayer Leverkusen and mediocre first half, they nabbed a narrow 1:0 home win in the end.

Experts have pointed at Mainz’s defence as their biggest issue at the moment. They conceded 6 goals over the last 3 Bundesliga games.

Augsburg are performing rather sub-par whenever they play away. For instance, they have more than 5 conceded goals spread over their most recent 3 away games.

These two teams already clashed this season, and Mainz walked away with a solid away win. It was fairly narrow, though, giving Augsburg supporters some hope for this game despite the unfavourable matchup.

This match is notable for the number of injuries reported prior by both sides. On one hand, the hosts will have to make do without Robin Zentner, Jonathan Burkardt, Delano Burgzorg. On the other, the visitors will not be able to count on Tobias Strobl, Ruben Vargas, André Hahn, Irvin Cardona. Both are in a precarious state, but you should take the importance of these players to the respective strategies before putting down a stake.

A Both Teams to Score bet is a very easy choice to make. A quick look at the two teams’ histories and statistics reveals that this match a very strong candidate to confirm the BTTS market.
