Augsburg vs Mainz Prediction and Betting Tips | September 20th 2024

Augsburg

Augsburg had a disappointing 2022/23 season, finishing 14th in the Bundesliga. They will be hoping for a better campaign in 2023/24, and they have made some shrewd signings in the summer transfer window.

One of their most important signings is striker Ermedin Demirovic, who scored 10 goals for Freiburg last season. They have also signed midfielder Arne Maier from Hertha Berlin and defender Kelvin Yeboah from Genoa.

Augsburg have a good squad on paper, and they will be confident of a top-half finish in the Bundesliga this season.

Mainz

Mainz had a solid 2022/23 season, finishing 12th in the Bundesliga. They will be hoping to build on that this season, and they have made some interesting signings in the summer transfer window.

One of their most important signings is striker Ludovic Ajorque, who scored 12 goals for Strasbourg last season. They have also signed midfielder Aymen Barkok from Eintracht Frankfurt and defender Anthony Caci from Strasbourg.

Mainz have a good squad on paper, and they will be confident of a top-half finish in the Bundesliga this season.

Prediction

This is a tough match to call, as both Augsburg and Mainz have good squads. However, Augsburg have the home advantage, and they will be confident of getting a result.

Mainz are a dangerous team on the counter-attack, and they will be looking to exploit Augsburg's high defensive line.

Overall, I think Augsburg will edge this match 2-1.
