Augsburg vs RB Leipzig Predictions

• Leipzig are unbeaten in four in the Bundesliga.
• Augsburg are winless in three.
• Leipzig won the reverse fixture 4-0.

Encouraging signs for Leipzig

RB Leipzig have had a disappointing season so far by their standards but they can ensure they finish the weekend inside the Bundesliga’s top four by beating Augsburg on Friday.

The visitors beat St Pauli 2-0 at home last time out to make it four games unbeaten in this competition. Leipzig’s away form is a concern and they are a little shorter than I’d like all things considered, but Augsburg have perhaps hit a dip as Leipzig are showing signs of improvement so an away win is still the best play here.

Leipzig are winless in four on their travels but this fixture looks like a good chance to pick up a road win. Augsburg laboured to a 2-1 win over struggling Heidenheim in their last home game and a similar level of performance against Leipzig could well result in a defeat.

A 2-0 win for the visitors is the correct score prediction as Leipzig have managed back-to-back clean sheets and they’ve scored exactly twice in three of their last five games, while Augsburg have failed to score in two successive games and could draw a blank again here.
