Augsburg will host Mainz at the WWK Arena on Saturday evening in another round of the 2023-24 Bundesliga season. The home side have endured an overall underwhelming start to their season kicking things off with a 2-0 defeat to Unterhaching in the DFB Pokal last month. They were beaten 3-0 by RB Leipzig last weekend, conceding all three goals in the opening 30 minutes of the game and failing to find a way back despite an improved second-half performance. Augsburg sit 15th in the league table with just two points from available 12 and will be looking to add to that tally on Saturday. On the other hand, like their weekend opponents, Mainz have also struggled to come alive in the Bundesliga this season and now find themselves in the drop zone. They were beaten 3-1 by Stuttgart in their last outing after being put to the sword by an inspired Serhou Guirassy who netted a perfect second-half hat-trick for the Reds. They sit rock-bottom in the Bundesliga standings with just one point from four games. For this game, I am expecting a win or a draw for Augsburg for the following reasons:

Firstly. In truth, the tone was set for Augsburg's season when they suffered a shock 2-0 loss against third-tier side Unterhaching in the first round of the DFB-Pokal, despite racking up 64% possession and 16 shots against their lower-league opponents. Following a crazy 4-4 draw with Borussia Monchengladbach on the opening weekend of the Bundesliga season, Enrico Maassen's men suffered a 3-1 defeat to Bayern Munich before throwing away the lead on two occasions to draw 2-2 with VfL Bochum. Augsburg have had it bad since the beginning of the season, but not compared to their current opponents, Mainz.

Secondly. If Augsburg have made a poor start to the season, then Mainz have endured much more dismal opening to the 2023-24 campaign, as they find themselves rock bottom of the Bundesliga table after four games, having picked up a solitary point this term. Not only have Mainz taken one point from a possible 12 this season, but they have also managed to score just three league goals, meaning that Svensson's side possess the joint-worst offensive record in the German top flight. They are without a clean sheet in their last 13 games across all competitions.

With both sides searching for their first league win of the season, we can see Augsburg and Mainz playing out a tense and cagey stalemate at the Augsburg's home ground. But Augsburg can however use their home advantage to get a win as well. So, a win or a draw are the possible outcomes for Augsburg on Saturday evening.

奥格斯堡将于周六晚上在WWK竞技场迎战美因茨队，这是2023-24赛季德甲联赛的另一轮比赛。在上个月的德国足球联赛中，主队以0 - 2不敌拜仁，这让他们的赛季开局显得平淡无奇。上周末，他们0 - 3不敌莱比锡RB，开场30分钟就丢了3个球，尽管下半场表现有所改善，但也没能找到扳回比分的办法。奥格斯堡目前在积分榜上排名第15位，仅从12分中获得2分，他们希望在周六的比赛中进一步扩大积分。另一方面，就像他们周末的对手一样，美因茨在本赛季的德甲联赛中也很难恢复活力，现在他们发现自己处于降级区。在上一场比赛中，他们被斯图加特1 - 3击败，在下半场被表现出色的塞尔豪·吉拉西击败，吉拉西为红军完成了完美的帽子戏法。他们在德甲积分榜上垫底，四场比赛仅得1分。对于这场比赛，我希望奥格斯堡能赢或平，原因如下:

首先。事实上，奥格斯堡本赛季的基调是在德甲联赛首轮0 - 2惨败给三流球队乌特哈奇时定下的，尽管他们在面对低级别联赛对手时拥有64%的控球率和16次射门。在德甲赛季的首战周末疯狂地4-4战平门兴格拉德巴赫之后，恩里科·马森的球队先是1 - 3不敌拜仁慕尼黑，之后又两次丢掉领先优势，最终2-2战平波鸿。奥格斯堡从赛季开始就表现不佳，但和他们现在的对手美因茨比起来还差。

其次。如果说奥格斯堡本赛季开局不佳，那么美因茨在2023-24赛季的开局就惨多了，他们发现自己在四场比赛后垫底，本赛季只拿到了一分。美因茨不仅在本赛季可能拿到的12分中只拿到了1分，而且他们在联赛中也只进了3个球，这意味着斯文森的球队在德国顶级联赛中拥有最差的进攻记录。他们在最近的13场比赛中没有一场零封对手。

双方都在寻找他们本赛季的第一场联赛胜利，我们可以看到奥格斯堡和美因茨在奥格斯堡的主场打出紧张而谨慎的僵局。但是奥格斯堡也可以利用他们的主场优势取得胜利。因此，周六晚上奥格斯堡可能的结果是赢或平。
