Mainz 05 - Augsburg predictions

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 3.70 price on most online sportsbooks.

Mainz 05’s previous Bundesliga match did not go their way, but not even the most stubborn fans would have predicted a different result against a team as strong as Stuttgart . They played as visitors, and the top online bookmakers priced an away win at 7.26. They never recovered from some early concessions, and the score was brought to a conclusive 3:1 result before the end.

Augsburg’s previous outing at their home stadium ended inconclusively. However, they kicked off as clear underdogs compared to RB Leipzig, who were the away team. With that in mind, the 2:2 score at the end is not that disappointing.

Results and standings notwithstanding, Augsburg have run into some defensive issues in this stretch of the Bundesliga. In the past 3 matches, they allowed more than 5 goals to their opponents, which may be cause for concern for their supporters.

Though a home win is priced at 2.11, the hosts lost their most recent game against Augsburg. The two teams played earlier in the season, though Mainz 05 were the visitors and the goal difference was quite narrow.

Augsburg will have an even more difficult time of this match than what was expected. They will be missing at least a few players due to injury - Reece Oxford, Drena Dijon, Raphael Framberger will all be unable to perform.

This match is a great chance to go for a safe Both Teams to Score bet. There are some risks involved, of course, but the 1 odds offered by 1xbet make the risk worth taking.
