Augsburg vs RB Leipzig Prediction & Betting tips
Before the holidays start in Germany, there is another one around DFB Pokal on the program. Many Bundesliga teams have drawn against teams from the lower leagues. However, this does not apply to FC Augsburg and RB Leipzig, who compete against each other on Tuesday evening.
Augsburg:
FC Augsburg has almost had a reasonable first half of the season. Last Saturday, Die Fuggerstädter played their last league matches of 2020. Eintracht Frankfurt was a guest in Western Bavaria, and the club from Hesse left with the full three points. Augsburg missed too many opportunities to be able to claim a good result. After thirteen match days, Augsburg is in a middle position, six points above the relegation line, which puts it well on track for the seasonal goal of enforcement.
Augsburg has never really played a significant role in the DFB Pokal. A place in the semifinals, in the 2009/2010 season, when Augsburg was still in the 2. Bundesliga, is the best performance in club history. In recent years, the cup adventure often ended at a relatively early stage. For two seasons, Augsburg reached the quarterfinals, in which Leipzig was also the opponent. A goal in the last minute by Alfred Finnbogason led to an extension at the time. The match seemed to be heading for a penalty shootout, but a goal in the last minute of extra time, by Marcel Halstenberg, prevented this (1-2, n.v.).
RB Leipzig:
RB Leipzig failed to win its league game on Saturday. That was expected of the team, in the home game against 1. FC Köln. The Saxons missed many opportunities, especially in the first half, so that the loss of points was allowed to count themselves (0-0). If Leipzig really wants to compete for the national championship, these kinds of duels should of course not occur too often. The team of trainer Julian Nagelsmann is entering the short winter break with a two-point deficit on top of the list leader Bayern Munich.
“We all play it well, but the statistics show that we are not taking advantage of many opportunities,” Nagelsmann said after the 0-0 against Cologne. “We have to work on that.” Alexander Sørloth might get another chance in the point of the attack on Tuesday, instead of Yussuf Poulsen. Whether Christopher Nkunku can play is questionable. We won’t be able to see Justin Kluivert in action anyway, he’s in the infirmary. Lukas Klostermann, on the other hand, is available again after his injury. He probably won’t be in the base yet.
