The top class action in Germany continues this weekend, as RB Leipzig bid to move into the Champions League spots when they travel to Augsburg. The visitors have recently bounced back to form after losing three on the bounce.
Bundesliga Preview
There promises to be an interesting battle for European positions in the Bundesliga this term, with six sides competing for the four spots in the Champions League. RB Leipzig have re-entered the race for a position in the top four after ending a disappointing period, which saw them lose three on the bounce.
Meanwhile, Augsburg will also be looking for a response in the league after losing three of their last five. A victory for the home side could see them end the round as high as tenth. It would also end any lingering doubts surrounding their battle against the drop, as they currently sit seven points clear of the bottom three spots.
Leipzig’s victory in their latest match ended their long wait for points in the Bundesliga this term. They will still likely be happy with their points return this season, as they have picked up the same number as they had at this stage last term. However, one of the most pleasing aspects from their 2-0 win against Union Berlin last weekend was the fact that they managed to end a ten-game wait for a clean sheet in the Bundesliga.
Augsburg will need to improve their home form if they are to claim maximum points this weekend, as they have suffered losses in each of their last two at WWK Arena. This is their longest losing sequence at home since November 2022, and it comes after losing once in their opening eight home matches in the Bundesliga this season.
Augsburg vs RB Leipzig Head to Head
Augsburg’s record in this fixture is very underwhelming, as they have picked up just one win from their last 15 against Leipzig. Their only success was picked up in September 2017. Over the same period, Leipzig have recorded nine victories.
Augsburg vs RB Leipzig Prediction
Leipzig finally got their campaign back on track with a professional display against Union Berlin last weekend, but they will need to maintain that intensity on the road on Saturday. An away win does appear the most likely result based on the trends.
