Team Analysis
Augsburg secured their first Bundesliga win of the season in their last match, which was crucial for their morale. The victory came against St. Pauli, where they managed to turn the game around in the second half with goals from Marius Wolf, Phillip Titz, and Yusuf Kadabai. Augsburg will look to build on this momentum as they play at home again. However, they are dealing with injuries to key players like Finn Damen, Raphael Framberger, Robert Gummi, and Rhys Oxford, which could affect their lineup options.

Mainz has struggled to find their footing this season, starting with draws against Union Berlin and Stuttgart where they had to come from behind. Their recent performance against Werder Bremen was disappointing, as they failed to capitalize on playing with a man advantage. Despite these challenges, Mainz has shown resilience, but their tendency to concede first is a concern. Andreas Hanche-Olsen is their only significant injury concern.

Head-to-Head
In recent meetings between Augsburg and Mainz, neither team has shown clear dominance. Both teams have traded victories, and their encounters tend to involve high-scoring games, with the exception of their last match where Mainz won narrowly 1-0.

Prediction
Given both teams' current form and defensive vulnerabilities, a high-scoring game is likely. Augsburg, buoyed by their recent victory, will aim to capitalize on their home advantage. Mainz's propensity to concede first could be a decisive factor in this match. We predict a 3-1 win for Augsburg, with both teams likely to score. Additionally, the match is expected to feature more than 2.5 goals and over 9.5 corners, reflecting both teams' attacking styles.
