RB Leipzig vs Augsburg Prediction

RB Leipzig Form

RB Leipzig have been too mediocre in their last three matches, where a win has failed to come their way. Against Union Berlin, they recorded a 0-0 draw, before coming up short against Atletico Madrid, who ran out 2-1 winners. Lately, they recorded another draw in a 0-0 match with St. Pauli. RB Leipzig claimed a middle-of-the-road three wins in their previous six matches on home soil in the Bundesliga. They also drew three but remained undefeated, as they scored nine and conceded two goals.

While a title challenge may be a bit of a stretch, RB Leipzig look a solid bet for a top three finish at the end of the season.

Augsburg Form

It is all or nothing with Augsburg, who only triumphed once in their previous three outings. They were defeated 4-0 against FC Heidenheim, before beating St. Pauli 3-1. Unable to build on that, they lost 2-3 against Mainz 05. Augsburg only have one paltry win to show from the last six away games in the Bundesliga. In these six matches they drew zero and lost five as well as being outscored by 18 goals to seven.

RB Leipzig enter the season as candidates for a top three finish, but more than a third place would in the end would be a rather big surprise.

With RB Leipzig in relatively good shape these days, we aim for the home win, when they take on Augsburg. The value lies with the former, with form a little too dubious for the visitors.
