Augsburg vs FSV Mainz 05 Predictions

• Both teams have scored in all four of Mainz’s competitive games this season.
• Augsburg are yet to keep a clean sheet this term.

Augsburg get up and running

Augsburg got their first Bundesliga win of the season last weekend but may struggle to repeat that feat against a Mainz side still searching for their first victory of the season.

The visitors may be winless, but their 2-1 defeat to Werder Bremen last time out was their first defeat of the season and another high-scoring stalemate could be the order of the day at the WWK Arena.

Augsburg’s victory last time out came against the newly promoted St. Pauli, but it did continue a worrying trend at the back, with The Fuggerstädter conceding eight goals in four competitive matches this season and failing to keep a single clean sheet.

Amiri can contribute to goalfest

Mainz have also been heavily involved at both ends of the pitch, with both teams scoring in all four games this season, making both teams to score an appealing bet.

Augsburg’s first home game of the season was a 2-2 draw and Mainz have played out two score draws this season, so a 2-2 correct score prediction is another good bet.

Anytime goalscorer punters are advised to consider Nadiem Amiri, who proved a shrewd January signing for Mainz last term. The 27-year-old has scored twice in four appearances and netted from the spot against Stuttgart, suggesting he may have leapfrogged Jonathan Burkardt in penalty-taking duties.
