Mainz 05 and Augsburg clash against each other in the MEWA Arena for the 20th round of the Bundesliga.  Mainz 05 outstanding 5-2 win against VFL Bochum was cut short following a loss to Union Berlin in the next match. Augsburg however pulled off a shock 1-0 win against Bayer Leverkusen in their last game. These two face each other and are both desperate for a win to advance from their current position on the table. But who will the winner be?

A win for either side is crucial as one has the opportunity of opening the gap or going over the other on the table. Head to Head shows these two hardly play out a draw but the state of both teams makes an outright winner difficult to predict. 

Mainz are not formidable playing at home and Augsburg are doing fair enough away from home. So I am inclined to see Augsburg dominance in this match. 

Augsburg should get a goal or two in this game.
