Augsburg go head-to-head with relegation-battling Mainz 05 at Mewa Arena in round 22 of the German Bundesliga on Saturday.
Die Nullfünfer have failed to win their last 11 league matches and will head into the weekend looking to end this dry spell.
Mainz 05 continue to struggle for results at the bottom end of the Bundesliga table as they fell to a 3-1 loss against Stuttgart at MHP Arena last Sunday.
The Rhineland-Palatinate outfit have now gone 11 consecutive league games without a win, losing five and picking up six draws since claiming a 2-0 victory over RB Leipzig on November 4.
With 21 points from 21 matches, Mainz are currently 17th in the Bundesliga table, nine points away from safety and only above rock-bottom Darmstadt on goal difference.
Augsburg, on the other hand, turned in a resilient team display last time out as they fought back from behind to salvage a 2-2 draw against Leipzig on home turf.
However, Jess Thorup’s men have now failed to win seven of their last eight league matches, picking up three draws and losing four since the first week of December.
With 23 points from 21 matches, Augsburg are currently 11th in the Bundesliga standings, level on points with 12th-placed Wolfsburg.
