Mainz 05 vs FC Augsburg Matchup Preview

FC Augsburg travels to face 1. FSV Mainz 05 in a crucial Bundesliga clash on Saturday, February 7, 2026, at 9:30 AM ET. With consensus odds listing Mainz as -0.5 home favorites and an O/U of 2.5, this game shapes up as a tight, defensive battle. Mainz has been solid at home, winning 60% of their recent matches there, while Augsburg's away form leaves much to be desired, with only 2 road wins in their last 10 outings.

Key Matchup Analysis

Mainz 05 enters with momentum from a strong mid-table push, relying on their organized defense and quick counterattacks. Players like Jonathan Burkardt up top have been clinical, scoring in 4 of the last 6 games. FC Augsburg, however, has leaky defense on the road, conceding an average of 1.8 goals per away match. Look for Mainz to control possession and exploit Augsburg's high line.

  • Mainz Strengths: Home advantage, solid backline (clean sheets in 3/5 recent home games).
  • Augsburg Weaknesses: Poor away scoring (1.1 goals/game), vulnerability to set pieces.

Injury Report Impact

No significant injuries for either side. Mainz 05 is fully healthy, allowing their full squad rotation. FC Augsburg reports no major absences, but depth could be tested if fatigue sets in during this winter fixture. Clean bill of health favors the hosts' preparation.
