RB Leipzig vs Augsburg Lineups, Prediction, Betting Picks & Odds

RB Leipzig vs Augsburg Game Preview

RB Leipzig host Augsburg at Red Bull Arena in a Bundesliga matchup that looks lopsided on paper. Our RB Leipzig vs Augsburg prediction backs the home side in an open, high-scoring game.

Leipzig sit fourth in the Bundesliga standings, three points behind joint leaders Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund. Martín Demichelis has an attack built on clinical finishing and individual skill.

Augsburg arrive with the worst recent form in the league. Manuel Baum's side create plenty going forward, but they leak scoring opportunities and struggle to protect a lead.

Leipzig have won their last seven home games against Augsburg in all competitions. With a crowded treatment room and Juma Bah suspended, the visitors face a steep climb.

RB Leipzig vs Augsburg Recent Results

Leipzig carried a winning run in all competitions into midweek before Erling Haaland's late goal sank them 3-2 at home to Manchester City in the Champions League. Losing that one stings, but the attack still showed up. Three of Antonio Nusa's last four Bundesliga appearances have featured an assist, though he is a doubt for Saturday.

Augsburg have failed to win their last six Bundesliga games, with Freiburg the latest side to beat them at home. They did pick up a win in the DFB-Pokal, beating SG Sonnenhof Großaspach. Fabian Rieder remains the creative engine, with six of his last eight Bundesliga appearances featuring a goal or an assist.

RB Leipzig

Marc Guiu is back in training but will not be available Saturday. Expect Rocco Reitz, Tidiam Gomis and Christopher Nkunku to start.

Augsburg

Manuel Baum could stick with the same group despite losing to Freiburg last time out. Juma Bah serves the second and final game of his suspension on Saturday, and five injured players remain sidelined.

RB Leipzig vs Augsburg Talking Points

Martín Demichelis has flagged Augsburg as one of the Bundesliga leaders in sprints and distance covered, and he wants 90 minutes of concentration from his squad. He is right to worry about effort, but Augsburg's bigger problem is closing games out. They have dropped 12 points from winning positions in the Bundesliga this season, the most of any club, so even an early Augsburg lead is no safe cushion. Manuel Baum's message was simple: "We need to be brave in defense and attack." With a DFB-Pokal trip to VfL Bochum waiting in early December, Saturday is all about Bundesliga points, and Leipzig's attack is still the edge we trust.
