Tuesday, at 19:45, Augsburg will receive a visit to Mainz in a match for the 16th Cup final of the German Cup. The game will take place at the “WWK Arena” stadium in Augsburg.
Form doubtful in the championship for both groups.
The situation is not great either for Augsburg or Mainz in this season start in the Bundesliga, or rather this first quarter of the championship. Augsburg seems to be in a shape rebound after losing a single match in the last five stages, and that dramatically on the field of leader Borussia Dortmund (3-4). As for Mainz, Sandro Schwarz’s band records an average of one point per game. However, Mainz is not yet relegable, it is just three lengths behind the direct opponent of Tuesday evening and, considering the current context, which shows the two teams in a preliminary stage in the German Cup, we believe that we will see a balanced match.
In the last ten direct confrontations between the two bands, Mainz was forced seven times, Augsburg in the other two rows, while a single duel ended undelivered;
The previous direct dispute took place about a month and a half ago in the Bundesliga, when Mainz landed on its own, score 2-1;
Five of the last seven straight games ended with goals on both sides;
Given the circumstances of this game, we expect a balanced deployment of hostilities. Even though bookmakers are giving Augsburg their favorite in terms of their own land advantage and a superior moment to the opponents, we think the hosts will not use the best “11”, which could turn this match into a much more balanced than the odds show.
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / NO @ 1.89
