Match preview
Augsburg will be aiming for their third win since the World Cup break after moving way clear of the relegation zone following on from a narrow victory over Bayer Leverkusen with Mainz up next at the MEWA Arena.
Mainz remain well clear of the drop zone despite their tough run of form since the finals in Qatar. Bo Svensson’s men have only beaten VfL Bochum 5-2, but this was their most impressive victory of the campaign.
Mainz have since been knocked out of the DFB-Pokal by Bayern Munich in a 4-0 hammering at home, while they went on to lose 2-1 to Union Berlin a week later in the Bundesliga.
Mainz now sit 12th in the table and ahead of Stuttgart by seven points in the table because the club have won six games, lost only eight and scored 27 goals so far from 19 games.
Augsburg have only beaten Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Monchengladbach since action resumed in Germany by 1-0 scorelines each. Combine this with a 4-3 loss to Borussia Dortmund and a 3-1 defeat to Freiburg and it means they now sit just behind Mainz in 13th.
