FC Augsburg vs RB Leipzig Prediction: Leipzig to continue the winning ways

Augsburg take on RB Leipzig in the first Bundesliga match on Saturday. With a 5-2 loss to Bayern Munich in the midweek DFB-Pokal, Augsburg are looking to return to wining ways. Leipzig had a comfortable 4-0 victory over Hamburg in the DFB Pokal match in midweek.

With momentum building for RB Leipzig and their push for a place in next season’s Champions Leagues football still on course, RB Leipzig cannot afford tto drop further points and lose grounds on the teams in the upper half of the league. Momentum are with Leipzig as they have won their last 4 matches in all competitions. However, Leipzig are yet to win an away match this season and Augsburg won't be a push over. With wins in their last three Bundesliga matches, Augsburg are a team on form.

Augsburg

Augsburg are 12th in the Bundesliga table but are not very safe yet from the relegation zone. After 10 round of matches, 5 points separates Augsburg in 12th place from Stuttgart and Leverkusen at 14th and 16th position, respectively but with the same points. Augsburg are in need of the points but can they get it is another question.

With Leipzig wining the last 5 matches in all competition, momentum is on their side. With much rest given to some key players such as Nkunku ad Timo Werner, expect the potent strike force of Leipzig to get some goals to push their agenda of qualifying for Europe’spremier competition.
