Our prediction for the match Augsburg vs Mainz
“The Fuggerstädter” started the previous season in a quite mediocre manner. Still, then Jess Thorup took over as coach. Being under the leadership of this mentor, they managed to improve the performance. And although the club was clearly playing out the rest of the season in the spring, it, losing to many, finished in 11th place. The championship was also difficult for “the Karnevalsverein” – the club carried out a coaching rotation. As a result, Henriksen and his team were 2 points ahead of Bochum, which went to the play-offs, finishing in 13th position.
Speaking about the summer, Augsburg lost a number of experienced and important players – Dorsch, Cardona and Kabadayi. And Stuttgart bought the key scorer, Demirovic, not sparing 21 million. However, the club signed, among others, Schlotterbeck, Mounie, Wolf and Onyeka, and this list can be continued. Mainz has fewer changes, but we note that the team did not spare Celtic 4 million for Hong Hyun-seok.
The Korean footballer has already made his debut, but was in no hurry to score. Generally speaking, Henriksen’s wards are not bad: there happened a 3-1 score in the struggle with Wehen in the cup confrontation, the draws in the games against Union and Stuttgart in the Bundesliga. Still, they lost to Werder in the previous round. The hosts, after the rout in the cup match, showed all possible results: a 2-2 draw in the struggle with Werder and a 0-4 score in the confrontation with Heidenheim. And the previous round brought a victory again – a 3-1 success over St. Pauli.
