Our prediction for this DFB Pokal match:
Augsburg
Match Time & Date:

03:45 PM
Prediction: 1-1
FSV Mainz
Augsburg and Mainz, the two Bundesliga sides, face each other at WWK Arena in what is expected to be one of the most entertaining games of Tuesday’s program in the second round of the DFB Pokal. Augsburg sit in the middle of the Bundesliga table ahead of the visit of Mainz, but a win over Hannover on the road surely gave them a confidence boost. The Bavarians aim to give fans yet another reason for celebration and we predict that they are going to adopt an attack-minded approach in Tuesday’s football match. Mainz, on the other hand, suffered a 2-1 loss to Bayern Munchen in their last league match, but they are definitely capable of matching Augsburg in the German Cup. A close encounter is on the cards at WWK Arena and we believe that the two teams are going to play out a draw after 90 minutes.
