RB Leipzig vs Augsburg Prediction & Betting tips
With the FC Augsburg comes the surprise team of the current Bundesliga season to kick off the 22nd matchday on Friday evening in the Red Bull Arena. Because contrary to expectations, the Fuggerstädter presented in the current season as transformed and have blossomed from the relegation candidate to Europa League contender. Rasenballsport Leipzig is expected to play for one of the coveted Champions League places, but could not establish itself as expected in the role of Bayern hunter. Both teams had their problems at the end of the year and the start of the season, but returned with victories last weekend. Due to the away problems of the Fuggerstädter we decide but ultimately for a tip on the Red Bulls.
RB Leipzig :
Rasenballsport Leipzig has started as runner-up in the current season and thus for the first time benefited from the triple burden of Bundesliga, DFB Pokal and Champions League. From the Cup, the Saxons said goodbye to Bayern Munich already in the second round. Even in the premier class, the mass is read after the group stage. After all, the third place behind Besiktas Istanbul and FC Porto but still enough to participate in the Europa League. In the Bundesliga is the team of Ralph Hasenhüttl with a record of ten wins, five draws and six defeats, a goal difference of 33:29 and thirty-five points in third place. While the Bavarians as leaders of the league with eighteen points lead wide hurry, the air is thin backwards. No fewer than five teams are in a good position and could catch up to the Red Bulls with a win or even pass them by. That’s why in the upcoming game count only three points.
The form of the Leipzig is at most to be described as average. Between the two defeats against Hertha BSC (2: 3) and SC Freiburg (1: 2) was initially the FC Schalke 04 beaten 3-1. Against the crisis-shaken HSV then it was enough in the penultimate performance only to a meager and not necessarily deserved 1: 1-draw. But last weekend the Hasenhüttl-Elf managed a little rehabilitation. At Borussia Mönchengladbach RB Leipzig was the game-determining team and secured with a hit by new signing and Forsberg replacement Ademola Lookman deserved last-minute victory.
Augsburg:
Even in the last season of FC Augsburg was consistently found in the bottom half of the table and was able to save himself in the final phase to the thirteenth place. After the defeat in the first round of the DFB Cup against 1 FC Magdeburg (0: 2) and the first defeat in the Bundesliga against the Hamburg sports club (0: 1) initially indicated much that the Fugger city seamlessly continue the preseason. Subsequently, the team of coach Manuel Baum made an interesting change from relegation candidates to Europa League aspirants. Finally, the Augsburg are currently with a record of eight wins, seven draws and six defeats, a goal difference of 32:26 and thirty-one points in seventh place. The lead on the relegation relegation place is currently calming eleven points, so that the view is also allowed upwards. With a win in the upcoming game even one of the two Europa League seats would be possible.
In the form table is the FCA before the upcoming opponent, which was not only the counterparty. Although were among these also the HSV (1: 0) and the 1st FC Cologne (1: 1) represented. Interesting, but the remaining three results. Against form-strong Freiburger the Augsburger delivered a gripping duel, in which the Fuggerstädter were up to the 91. Minute with two gates in arrears and then still by Finnbogason to the 3: 3-Laststand could compensate. While Borussia Mönchengladbach (0: 2) was one size too big in the meantime, the Baum-Elf could cause a big surprise last weekend. Because against Eintracht Frankfurt – one of the form-strongest teams in the second half – the FCA secured with a 3-0 win three big points.
