Jess Thorup’s first full season with Augsburg has got off to a steady enough start. The Bundesliga club will be looking to kick on from a midtable finish last term, and they have already won once across their opening three matches this term. However, there could be early warning signs defensively after already allowing seven goals in the German top-flight this season.
Confidence would have been gained from their recent outing in the league. Augsburg registered a first win of the season, as Marius Wolf and Yusuf Kabiadayi netted in a 3-1 win. The German side created 18 chances in that success, and their newfound attacking outlet could be something to consider before making an Augsburg vs Mainz prediction on Friday.
It has been a rocky period in recent history for Mainz, but stability has been assured following the decision to stick with Bo Henriksen for the 2024-25 season. However, the performances on the field are yet to vindicate that decision, with the German side having failed to win in their opening three matches this term.
They have at least been progressive in the final third after netting five times, but they have also allowed an average of two goals per game across their opening three matches. After successive draws to start the season, Mainz were edged out by Werder Bremen last weekend in a closely fought encounter.
Bet hereHome victories are a trend worth considering when making an Augsburg vs Mainz prediction this weekend. The hosts have won each of the last three and five of the last six meetings between these sides.
Augsburg’s confidence would have increased after landing a first win of the season last weekend, and a second successive victory could follow on Friday.
Elvis Rexhbecaj is indeed a likely candidate to receive a booking this weekend. The midfielder plays with a lot of aggression and intensity, which has already seen him pick up two yellow cards in just three Bundesliga matches this season.
With an average of 0.4 fouls per game, Rexhbecaj is often involved in physical duels, and his combative style could easily result in another caution against a Mainz side that will look to exploit any mistakes. Backing Rexhbecaj to be booked might be a smart betting option.
