WWK Arena - Augsburg
FC Augsburg is winless in three Bundesliga matches against FSV Mainz (D1 L2). The only time FCA had to wait longer for a win against Mainz was from March 2014 to February 2017, when they had seven winless duels (D1 L6).
FC Augsburg lost six of their last seven Bundesliga games (W1 at Freiburg), more than any other Bundesliga team in that period. For the first time in three years, FCA lost two of their first three Bundesliga games of a season (in 2022-23, they also had three points at the same time).
Of their last 12 Bundesliga matches, 1. FSV Mainz have won only one (D6 L5): a 4-1 victory at Bochum in May. Apart from the promoted and relegated teams, every other Bundesliga club has celebrated more victories than Mainz since mid-March. Furthermore, Mainz have now failed to win their first three matches in each of their last three Bundesliga seasons – but in 2024-25, their first victory came on Matchday 4, with a 3-2 victory in Augsburg!
FC Augsburg have picked up just one point from their last five Bundesliga home games and have suffered three consecutive home defeats. Another home defeat would see FCA equal the club's record, the only previous record for four consecutive home defeats was between February and April 2018.
FSV Mainz 05 has only conceded three goals this Bundesliga season (only Bayern Munich fewer, 2), but have also only scored once themselves – their fewest goal record after three games of the season in 20 years (in 2005-06 they even had 0 goals, which was also the only BL season with fewer goals after 3 games).
