Augsburg - Mainz 05 betting tips and odds

Augsburg have their work cut out for them if they want to beat Mainz 05. They are widely considered to be the weaker team – though the difference is not huge, to be fair. Overall, it’s shaping up to be an exciting showdown.

Mainz 04 are not a team that backs down from a challenge and we expect them to give their best in an effort to claim a victory in this match.

The previous Bundesliga round brought a morale-boosting away victory for Augsburg who managed to withdraw the first-half pressure and inflict a lethal blow in the second half to claim a Arminia Bielefeld triumph.

Mainz 04 played the previous round at Union Berlin, and most online bookmakers considered them to be at a slight disadvantage. That slight disadvantage quickly turned into a harsh 3:1 after they spend the entire match playing from behind.

Augsburg have a notably poor defensive record when it comes to playing as visitors. We’re mostly referring to the 5 conceded goals over their latest 3 away games. They are playing as hosts this time around, but you should be aware before you put down any money.

Mainz 04 may need to work on their defence if they want to get anywhere. In the 3 most recent matches they played, they conceded more than 5 times in total, which is not a good record to have.

With a loss to Mainz on the record, the home team’s status of clear favourites is brought into question. They lost a Bundesliga match earlier in the season, which came as a surprise to bookies and punters alike.
