VS
FSV Mainz 05 vs FC Augsburg is a competitive German matchup shaped by venue reversals and narrow margins. Mainz won 4–1 at Augsburg on 20 September 2025 despite playing much of the second half with ten men, then beat Augsburg 2–0 in Mainz on 7 February 2026. A 0–0 draw in Mainz on 8 February 2025 shows why the pairing remains difficult to reduce to one pattern. A future meeting will test the balance again.

Stats for this game
Matchup FSV Mainz 05 VS FC Augsburg
Mainz have the stronger later direction
The fixture has produced alternating results across its wider history, but the later results gives FSV Mainz 05 the clearer direction. Mainz drew 0–0 with Augsburg at the MEWA ARENA on 8 February 2025, won 4–1 at the WWK ARENA on 20 September 2025 despite a second-half dismissal, and followed that with a 2–0 home victory on 7 February 2026. Augsburg’s 2–1 home win on 23 September 2023 remains a reminder that the balance can move back when the setting changes.
Venue and resistance matter
At the MEWA ARENA, Augsburg must keep the contest as controlled as the 2025 draw while limiting Mainz’s capacity to turn pressure into a clear margin. In Augsburg, Mainz have shown that they can impose the result away from home, yet the hosts retain the opportunity to make the match more uncomfortable than status alone suggests. League and cup meetings have contributed to the wider record, so context should remain flexible. A new fixture will ask whether Mainz extend their measured edge or Augsburg restore the home response.
