Week 26 brings us a match on Mar 12th where Augsburg will play host to Mainz 05 in a Bundesliga match. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cold day, with daytime temperatures of only 2 degrees, which will make playing unpleasant. In their last match, 14th placed Augsburg, recorded a 1-0 shutout win against Arminia Bielefeld. Daniel Caligiuri struck first for Augsburg in the 50th minute on a feed from Iago, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster In the end, Arminia Bielefeld was frustrated by Augsburg’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Augsburg ended the match with the shutout victory.
