RB Leipzig vs Augsburg: Lineups, Prediction, Betting Tips & Odds

RB Leipzig vs Augsburg Match Summary

RB Leipzig vs Augsburg puts a ruthless home side up against Bundesliga visitors who carry a threat but struggle to keep the door shut. Goals look the obvious story.

Leipzig have been brutal at the Red Bull Arena, winning every Bundesliga home game this season by an aggregate 18-0. A midweek defeat to Manchester City is the only recent dent.

Augsburg arrive winless in six Bundesliga outings. They can hurt teams going forward, but they cannot hold on, having dropped a division-high 12 points from winning positions.

History offers little comfort for the visitors. Augsburg have no wins to show from the previous meetings, with Leipzig taking four. Leipzig have also won their last seven home matches against Augsburg in all competitions.

RB Leipzig vs Augsburg Form

Leipzig had strung together three straight wins in all competitions before Erling Haaland's late goal settled a home defeat to Manchester City in the Champions League on Wednesday night. Domestically they are flying, sitting fourth in the table, with Christopher Nkunku and Tidiam Gomis expected to start behind Rômulo.

Augsburg are without a win in their last six Bundesliga matches, and Freiburg were the latest to beat them, at home last time out. The frustrating part is the attack still works: their 18 league goals so far are a club record at this stage, with Fabian Rieder the creative heartbeat of the engine room.

RB Leipzig vs Augsburg Prediction & Best Bets

Our prediction: Leipzig to win, but not without Augsburg landing a blow or two. The hosts' finishing and home form outclass a side that leaks goals and cannot protect a lead, and the RB Leipzig vs Augsburg betting odds agree, pricing Leipzig at 4/9 with 10Bet. Augsburg at 11/2 with Bet365 carry enough attacking intent to score here, just not enough defensive steel to take anything home.

Best Bets

Over 3.5 in the Total Goals Over/Under market, backing a high-scoring Bundesliga clash at the Red Bull Arena. The projections have this one north of four goals, with Leipzig doing most of the damage and Augsburg chipping in. Add the fact there have been over 2.5 goals in 10 of Augsburg's last 11 games in the Bundesliga, and this is the pick of our RB Leipzig vs Augsburg best bets.

Yes in the Both Teams To Score market, with both sides expected to find the net. Augsburg have conceded at least two goals in five of their last six Bundesliga matches, so Leipzig will get theirs. The visitors are built to create and shoot on sight, and with a Leipzig defence that struggles against through balls, they look well capable of returning fire.

RB Leipzig vs Augsburg Bet Builder

Our RB Leipzig vs Augsburg bet builder tips lean on the visitors' attack, pairing Arijon Ibrahimović shot markets with a Jeffrey Gouweleeuw card and Augsburg goals, at 16/1 with Bet365.

Arijon Ibrahimović Over 0.5 Player Shots On Target: Ibrahimović has hit the target in all of his last 6 Bundesliga appearances, and Leipzig's open game should give him room.

Jeffrey Gouweleeuw To Be Shown A Card: Gouweleeuw has been carded in 5 of his last 8 appearances against RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga. Chasing Leipzig's runners on the counter invites bookings.

Augsburg Over 1.5 Total Away Goals: There have been 27+ shots taken in 7 of Augsburg's last 8 Bundesliga matches, and their love of a through ball targets Leipzig's softest spot.

Arijon Ibrahimović Over 2.5 Player Shots: Ibrahimović has attempted 3+ shots every time out across his last 3 Bundesliga appearances, which suits an Augsburg side that takes a lot of shots.

At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 16/1 and is as short as 16/1 elsewhere.

RB Leipzig vs Augsburg Talking Points

Any RB Leipzig vs Augsburg prediction has to account for tired legs. The Leipzig camp have admitted rotation is needed after four straight weeks of midweek fixtures, and this is a side that rotate their first eleven heavily anyway. Leipzig have also flagged that Augsburg rank among the division's highest for high-intensity sprints, while Manuel Baum wants courage in defence and attack without losing structure against Leipzig's pace in transition. That clash of styles is why goals at both ends look a sounder angle than a Leipzig clean sheet.
