- Augsburg’s leaky trend: The Fuggerstadter have conceded in ten of their last eleven Bundesliga games, a glaring sign of their defensive vulnerability.
- Wasteful Mainz: Despite producing the fourth most shots in the league (48), only 12.5% of Mainz’s attempts have tested the opposition keeper this season.
- Goals for both likely: Augsburg have scored six times already this season, but they’ve also shipped six, making both teams to score a consistent pattern in their fixtures.
Best Bet for Augsburg vs FSV Mainz 05
Shamrock Rovers +1.75 Asian Handicap | |
31/20 - odds when tipped | |
Reasoning Backing Shamrock +1.75 Asian Handicap makes sense because their defensive structure and track record of covering big lines match perfectly against Sparta’s tendency to win but not by massive margins. | |
Saturday’s meeting at the WWK Arena feels like one of those games where neither set of fans truly knows what to expect. Augsburg, sitting in mid-table but far from convincing, will try to steady their campaign after a limp display against St Pauli last weekend.

Mainz, meanwhile, are nervously perched just above the drop zone and have yet to taste victory in this Bundesliga season. Both sides have a point to prove—Augsburg because their defensive frailty keeps haunting them, Mainz because their finishing has been utterly wasteful. Put bluntly, this isn’t a clash of giants, but it could be one of those nervy encounters where mistakes and missed chances dominate the story.
Best Bet for This Match
At BettingTips4You we always believe in keeping things focused—only one prediction per match, the Best Bet. That’s our golden rule, because quality trumps quantity. You won’t find us throwing out ten different options to confuse people. Instead, we provide the single tip that we believe gives punters the most realistic edge. For Augsburg v Mainz 05, our Best Bet is both teams to score.
Why both teams to score offers the most value
Augsburg are an odd team to pin down. They have already scored six goals in three Bundesliga matches, which is an impressive return. Yet, astonishingly, their expected goals sits at just 2.6—the third worst in the league. That stat alone suggests their attack might not be as sustainable as it looks on paper. However, it also underlines that when they do get chances, they tend to take them. The real issue for Sandro Wagner’s men is at the other end. They’ve conceded six times, including against St Pauli where their only goal came early but their defence fell asleep afterwards. They simply don’t keep clean sheets.
Mainz, on the other hand, have been lively but frustrating. They rank fourth in the league for total attempts (48), yet only six of those have actually been on target. That’s 12.5%, which frankly is dreadful. Still, with players like Arnaud Nordin and Paul Nebel supporting Nelson Weiper, there are enough sparks to at least find the net against this shaky Augsburg defence. What’s clear is that while Mainz waste plenty, they also carve out opportunities regularly. Against a host team who cannot defend to save themselves, the away side should get on the scoresheet.
Augsburg’s own inconsistency further adds to the appeal. They’ve lost six of their last eight competitive fixtures and haven’t kept a clean sheet in their last eleven Bundesliga outings. Mainz might not be ruthless, but they don’t need to be against a backline this fragile.

“Neither of these sides inspire defensive confidence. Goals at both ends look almost inevitable, even if the quality of finishing leaves plenty to be desired.”
A realistic correct score here is 1-1. Augsburg are capable of striking at home, but Mainz’s resilience and knack for grinding out moments—even if not clinical—makes it likely they avoid defeat.
