Augsburg and Mainz go head-to-head at the WWK ARENA in round four of the German Bundesliga on Saturday. Bo Henriksen’s men head into the weekend as one of four sides without a win in the new league campaign and will be out to end this poor run.
Augsburg were made to rue their lapses at the defensive end of the pitch last Saturday when they fell to a 2-1 defeat against St. Pauli after giving away their lead at the Millerntor-Stadion.
Sandro Wagner’s side have now lost three games on the trot across all competitions, conceding seven goals and scoring four since kicking off the season with consecutive victories over Hallescher FC and Freiburg in the cup and league respectively.

Mainz, on the other hand, failed to get their season off and running last weekend as they fell to a 1-0 defeat against RB Leipzig when the two sides squared off at MEWA Arena.
Henriksen’s men have now lost two of their opening three matches this season, with a 1-1 draw against Wolfsburg on August 31 sandwiched between the two defeats.
While Mainz have endured a slow start to the league campaign, they have secured UEFA Conference League qualification after claiming a 5-3 aggregate victory over Norwegian outfit Rosenborg in August’s playoffs.
