Augsburg vs RB Leipzig Prediction

Augsburg form

A draw was the best Augsburg could muster in their previous three games. They claimed a 1-1 draw against Wolfsburg, before getting trounced 3-2 against FC Koln. Last time out, more disappointment followed as Bayern Munich ran out 2-5 winners. In their last six Bundesliga home matches, Augsburg have two wins, while they've drawn one and lost three. They scored five and conceded ten goals.

Augsburg looked destined for a season fighting off relegation, but current form has them no way near the drop zone in the Bundesliga.

RB Leipzig Form

RB Leipzig are in awesome shape going into this next encounter, as they won their last three matches on the bounce. Celtic got left behind in a 0-2 win, before Hertha Berlin got hammered in a 3-2 victory. Hamburger SV was the most recent victim in a 4-0 win for RB Leipzig. RB Leipzig came through their last six away games in the Bundesliga without a single win. Of those six matches, they drew three and lost three in which, they were outscored by 12 goals to four.

RB Leipzig were regarded as contenders for a medal, but in current form they'd be lucky to even finish in the top half of the Bundesliga.

RB Leipzig are favoured by the bookmakers, and while we are certain, Augsburg is going to put up a fight, we believe the visitors will prevail in the end.
