1. FSV Mainz 05 haven’t beaten any side more often at home in the Bundesliga than they have FC Augsburg (9 times, same as vs. TSG Hoffenheim). The 05ers have won each of the last three match-ups in Mainz, the most recent of which was Bo Henriksen’s first Bundesliga game in charge in February 2024.
With 31 points from 20 games, this is 1. FSV Mainz 05’s second best Bundesliga season (36 points in 2010/11 under Thomas Tuchel). However, the 05ers have lost three of their last four league games, the exception being a 2-0 win at home to VfB Stuttgart.
1. FSV Mainz 05 have won each of their last five Bundesliga home games – a sixth straight victory would see them set a new club record. The 05ers have scored multiple goals in all five of these matches – they have never done so in six consecutive Bundesliga home games in a single season before.
FC Augsburg are on a four-game unbeaten run in the Bundesliga (W3, D1) for the first time since February/March 2024 (5 games back then). FCA have claimed seven points from the last three matchdays, a tally only topped by FC Bayern (9). Seven points from their first three games in the second half of a top-flight season has equalled FCA’s club record from 2013/14 and 2014/15.
FC Augsburg are on a three-game unbeaten run away from home in the Bundesliga (W2, D1) for the first time since October/November 2023 (also 3 games). FCA most recently managed to go four consecutive top-flight away games without defeat in a single season in 2020. They had only previously avoided defeat in their first three Bundesliga away games of a calendar year in 2014 (first 5 back then).
