Augsburg vs Mainz 05: Predictions , Preview, Lineups, H2h for September 20, 2025

This Saturday, Augsburg will host Mainz at the WWK Arena as part of Bundesliga Matchday 4. A bet on goals seems likely to be fruitful in this matchup.

Match Preview

Augsburg’s season has started poorly, with two consecutive losses. Nonetheless, they have scored in their last four matches. However, they have serious defensive problems, having allowed 11 goals in their last five home games.

At home, Augsburg plays with enthusiasm, as shown in their recent game against Bayern, where they netted two goals. Still, their attacking ability doesn’t offset their defensive weaknesses, resulting in dropped points even with a good performance.

Mainz is not faring much better, earning only one point and scoring just one goal in three matches. They have not kept a clean sheet in their last 14 league games. In their last match, Mainz lost a close game to Leipzig despite a reasonably solid midfield performance.

However, Mainz often plays more aggressively away from home, scoring in six of their last eight away matches. Their attacking style usually leads to plenty of goals, but defensive weaknesses make them susceptible.

Probable Lineups

• Augsburg: Damen, Zeziger, Gawelau, Matsima, Rexhbecaj, Rieder, Jakic, Massengo, Wolf, Saad, Kemür
