Augsburg is coming into this match with a trend to the over in their recent matches. They have gone over 2.5 goals in their last 6 straight matches, including all 3 of their league matches this season. Their attack has been good in these as they have scored at least 2 goals in their last 2 straight as well as 4 of their last 5 matches, scoring 13 goals in those 5 matches, and they have scored 7 goals in their last 2 matches alone as well. Their defense has not been good though as they have also allowed at least 1 goal in each of their last 6 matches, and they have allowed 7 goals in their 3 league matches alone. When playing at home, they have gone over 3.5 goals in their last 4 straight matches there with both teams scoring in each of those. They are going up against a Mainz side that has also been trending to the over in their recent matches. They have gone over 2.5 goals in 2 of their last 3 as well as 10 of their last 12 matches going back to last season. Their attack has been finding the net as they have scored at least 1 goal in each of their 3 matches this season, scoring 5 goals in those 3 matches, but their defense has been awful as they have also conceded at least 1 goal in all 3 matches, allowing 5 goals in their last 2 league matches alone. They have only played in 2 away matches this season as well, 1 league match which ended in a 3-3 draw and 1 cup match which ended in a 3-1 win. Augsburg has been in better form recently, scoring a lot of goals at home as well, they are going to find the net on this Mainz defense, but Mainz will also be pushing for goals here since the Augsburg defense has not been very good either and Mainz is still searching for their 1st win of the season as well. Between these two sides, there will be enough goals in this match to push it over 2.5 goals.
