Augsburg vs Mainz Prediction: Can Augsburg halt Mainz recent surge?

Augsburg vs Mainz Prediction and Odds on 20 September 2025

Augsburg enters this fixture under pressure due to defensive issues, and patchy home results have left them vulnerable, especially at the WWK Arena, where recent matches have exposed their frailty. Mainz are riding a wave of better performances and are looking to build consistency on their travels. Their ability to control possession, generate shots, and threaten from set pieces gives them an edge against Augsburg’s more direct style.

As a football lover, expect a tactical battle as Augsburg will try to exploit transitions and speed, while Mainz will look to absorb pressure and strike with structure. The result could be decided by who holds nerves better in the final third.

Augsburg: Forms and Statistics

Augsburg’s home form has been concerning. They have lost their past three home Bundesliga matches, conceding on average 2.67 goals per home game and scoring only around 1.33. Augsburg's ability to control matches is limited as their possession metrics sit below average, and shot creation from open play has been inconsistent. Defensive lapses, especially from set-pieces or when exposed on transitions, have hurt them.

Mainz: Forms and Statistics

Mainz have shown steadier performances away from home. In recent games, Mainz averaged around 1.17 goals per match, conceded about 1, and displayed strong control of possession. Mainz shot-on-target numbers and set-piece involvement show an ability to manufacture chances even when under pressure. While finishing has sometimes been wasteful, Mainz’s discipline and tactical structure make them more dangerous than their low scoring suggests.
