Bundesliga Matchday 3 Betting Tips – FC Augsburg
Augsburg suffered a big defeat at home in its opening encounter before picking up the unlikely away-win last week which puts the club on 9th spot in the league-table.
Being a completely inexperienced manager at the top-level, Enrico Maaßen will be delighted to get his first Bundesliga victory, as well as the effort shown by his players to snatch the win towards the end of the game. He might name an unchanged line-up for the next match with Rafal Gikiewicz in goal and skipper Jeffrey Gouweleeuw forming the 3-man defensive-line along with Felix Uduokhai and Robert Gumny.
Iago picked up an injury therefore Mads Pedersen is expected to step in for him into the left wing-back position while Daniel Caligiuri comes into the side on the right-flank. Elvis Rexhbecaj joined Niklas Dorsch and Tobias Strobl on the injury-list so Carlos Gruezo, Arne Maier and Julian Baumgartlinger may form the midfield-trio. Ermedin Demirovic and Fredrik Jensen was the centre-forward pair used in the last match.

Bundesliga Matchday 3 Betting Tips – 1.FSV Mainz 05
Mainz finds itself in 6th place at this early stage after picking up 4 points from its first couple of matches.
Despite losing some key members of the squad, Mainz has also brought in a long list of players in this transfer-window which gives manager Bo Svensson various options in every position. Nevertheless, the spine of the team has remained the same with Robin Zentner as the goalkeeper while the new signing Maxim Leitsch has moved into the 3-man backline alongside Stefan Bell and Alexander Hack.
Dominik Kohr is another new arrival that has been drafted straight into the starting line-up and will partner Anton Stach to be the two holding-midfielders of the side. Silvan Widmer will operate as the wing-back on the right-flank while Aarón Martín takes the opposite wing. Karim Onisiwo and Marcus Ingvartsen are likely to be the strike-pair with Jae-Sung Lee as a free-roaming attacking-midfielder behind them.
