Mainz vs Augsburg Prediction & Betting tips
FSV Mainz 05 and FC Augsburg cross swords on Sunday afternoon. Both teams still need a handful of points to secure top-level enforcement. Who has the best papers for the victory?
FSV Mainz 05:
Mainz 05 recorded a particularly important victory last weekend. For the fans, a derby win is always worth more than a regular victory, so the 0-2 win that Mainz celebrated when visiting neighbor Eintracht Frankfurt led to an excellent mood in Mainz. For trainer Achim Beierlorzer, however, the three points will have mainly counted. He saw his team come to a subtotal of 31. Number fifteen Mainz now has a three-point lead over Fortuna Düsseldorf, which is still in fifteenth place.
Mainz therefore seems well on its way to the seasonal goal of enforcement, but people will not count themselves rich too soon. For example, Die Nullfünfer play two more tough away games, against Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen. The two remaining home games – they also play in their own stadium against Werder Bremen – should therefore actually yield at least four points. “We want to confirm our form,” Beierlorzer said at the weekly press conference. “The boys are all very concentrated.”
FC Augsburg:
FC Augsburg is also not free from relegation concerns. Die Fuggerstädter have a point more than opponent Mainz and are therefore in fourteenth place. Last week Augsburg drew 1-1 in their home game against 1. FC Köln. Augsburg missed several good chances and even seemed to lose the game, due to a late goal. Philipp Max prevented that scenario with an even later equalizer, but nobody at Augsburg could really be happy with the point.
Trainer Heiko Herrlich spoke about the shape of striker Florian Niederlechner, who is currently not showing his best game. For example, he missed a penalty in the match against Cologne. “He did well before the winter break,” said Herrlich, who said it was only a matter of time before Niederlechner got back into shape. “I am convinced that the balls will go back in quickly,” Herrlich tried to boost Niederlechner’s confidence. If the coach wants to switch in his attack, there is also Alfred Finnbogason, who is currently fit and available.
