Overview

• Augsburg have conceded 10 goals in their last four matches, capped by a 1–4 defeat in which goalkeeper Finn Dahmen allowed four against Mainz.
• Wagner’s 3-4-2-1 with a higher defensive line is drawing scrutiny from analysts who say the current squad lacks the technique and discipline to execute it.
• Mainz pushed the score to 0–4 even after Dominik Kohr’s yellow–red left them a man down, with Augsburg only reducing the margin late.
• The club recently replaced Jess Thorup with Wagner and, despite three straight losses, reporting indicates no immediate plan to revisit the coaching change.
• Wagner’s outspoken approach and two bookings in four matches have kept focus on him as he asks for time and publicly accepted responsibility after the Mainz defeat.
