Augsburg vs. Mainz: Match Prediction
At home, Augsburg may not have achieved many positive results recently, but they strive to play actively and score regularly. In their last six home Bundesliga matches, the team failed to score only once, and in their first home game of the current season, they netted twice against Bayern. However, they have conceded 11 goals in their last five home league matches, keeping a clean sheet only once.
Mainz also prefers an attacking style and does not shy away from offensive play even on the road. In 6 of their last 8 away league matches, the team failed to score only twice, with one of those instances being against Bayern. Meanwhile, Mainz has not kept a clean sheet in their last seven away Bundesliga encounters.
I expect an attacking display from both teams, so my prediction: Both teams to score – Yes
* Each team's lineup reflects their starting XI from their last match in this tournament.
