H2H: Augsburg vs Mainz – Score Prediction (Bundesliga

H2H: Augsburg vs Mainz.

Alfreð Finnbogason has six goals across his last four league appearances versus Mainz, including a hat-trick in Augsburg’s 2018/19 home win over their rivals. Mainz’ star striker Robin Quaison is goalless in all five Bundesliga career H2H meetings (W1, L4), but the last six league games he has scored in included him netting the opening goal. Jan-Moriz Lichte is the first manager in Mainz’s 115-year history to lose his first three games in charge.

Augsburg Insights.

Augsburg Head Coach Heiko Herrlich has won his last three managerial H2Hs without conceding, but his side have recently suffered back-to-back defeats. Both came by a two-goal margin after a 1-0 HT deficit. In fact, the last four Bundesliga clashes they’ve been winning at HT have been their last four league triumphs. One positive is that Augsburg have won the last three home league H2H fixtures, with three of the seven goals scored being penalties. However, they’ve won just once in nine Bundesliga home games (W1, D3, L5), and only have seven league clean sheets here since the start of 2018/19, with five coming in wins by at least a two-goal margin.

Mainz Insights.

Mainz are the only team in Europe’s ‘Big Five’ leagues yet to gain a single point in 2020/21 on account of five defeats. Carrying on from last season, it is six league losses in a row, and only three victories in 15 (D3, L9). Above all, being outscored 9-1 in the second-half of Bundesliga contests isn’t helping their cause. ‘Die Nullfünfer’ have seen their last five league away victories come by at least a two-goal margin, whilst also leading at half-time and scoring in each half. Mainz actually claimed more away points than home in 2019/20, but they’ve been behind inside 20 minutes in all three competitive away battles undertaken so far this season.
