Leipzig
- RB Leipzig will be more than ready to face a side that they've had the measure of over the last couple of seasons this Saturday.
- Leipzig, 4th in the Bundesliga 2026/2027 with 15 points from 8 games, are coming off a trio of consecutive victories across all competitions that includes a 4-0 home victory over SV Elversberg in the league and back-to-back road wins.
- Leipzig have been faultless at home in Bundesliga 2026/2027 this term, having won all four of their matches with zero draws and zero defeats, conceding 0 goals in the process.
- Their brick-wall style of play means that the home side are now starting to get a stranglehold on this division and Augsburg could find it difficult to break them down at Red Bull Arena Leipzig, Germany.
Augsburg
- Augsburg, who sit mid-table in 9th with 9 points from 8 Bundesliga 2026/2027 matches, are still searching for consistency this season and they enter Saturday's fixture in mixed form.
- Augsburg have won one, drawn two and lost two of their last five matches across all competitions and their last Bundesliga 2026/2027 defeat came at home to SC Freiburg, 1-2.
- Augsburg have conceded 8 goals in 3 Bundesliga 2026/2027 away matches.
Head-to-Head
- Leipzig have won 3 of the last 5 meetings, with Augsburg yet to win in that run.
- RB Leipzig will be more than ready to face a side that they've had the measure of over the last couple of seasons this Saturday.
Key Players
- Manuel Baum has his Augsburg side set up to be compact, pragmatic and difficult to play against, and they will certainly have a go against a fourth-placed side that is a little too physical for their own good at times.
- Die Fuggerstädter have the second balls and the pace to hurt Leipzig on the counter in transition, but Leipzig's livewire Antonio Nusa is a real threat to their backline at the other end of the field.
- The 22-year-old has scored two goals in four Bundesliga 2026/2027 appearances and he is the kind of player that Augsburg need to monitor at all times, just as they will have to watch out for the finishing touch of Michael Gregoritsch.
- Gregoritsch has three goals in his four Bundesliga 2026/2027 games and he's the type of player that can nick a result if Augsburg are to have any chance of taking something from Saturday's game.
Betting Insights
Odds of 1.45 for a home win are a little short on the odds for Leipzig, who should win this one at the very least, while 5.6 on Augsburg and 4.9 on the draw are simply too big.
Prediction
Leipzig can dominate this game and Augsburg are likely to frustrate and strike in bursts, so a home win with over 2.5 goals scored looks the savvy bet.
