RB Leipzig vs Augsburg Prediction

RB Leipzig Form

RB Leipzig look back on their last three matches with six points to show for their efforts. Against Bayer Leverkusen, they were left empty-handed in a 3-2 defeat, but they avenged themselves by beating VfB Stuttgart in a 5-1 win. They followed that up with a 0-3 win against Union Berlin in their most recent outing. RB Leipzig won five of their last six Bundesliga matches at Red Bull Arena Leipzig, scoring 15 and conceding nine along the way. They lost once but didn't draw a single match.

The big goal of the season for RB Leipzig is naturally winning the title, and a place inside the top two at least should be possible in the upcoming Bundesliga season.

Augsburg Form

Augsburg have been a tad mediocre in their last three matches where a win has failed to come their way. Against B. M'gladbach, they gained a point in a 4-4 draw, before coming up short against Bayern Munich, who ran out 3-1 winners. Lately, they managed to steal a point in a 2-2 with Bochum. In their last six Bundesliga away matches, Augsburg failed to win even once. In stead, they've drawn two and lost four, scoring eight while also conceding 14 times.

Anything but a home win would be a stunning result, and we back RB Leipzig not to be stunned, just like we back numerous goals to be scored when they face Augsburg.
