RB Leipzig vs Augsburg Prediction & Betting tips
RB Leipzig and FC Augsburg are the two teams tasked with opening the Bundesliga match weekend. In the battle for a Champions League ticket, the Saxons cannot miss any points.
RB Leipzig:
RB Leipzig succeeded last week, which almost every German team succeeds this season. Namely, achieving a victory against the self-entangled FC Schalke 04. In the Veltins Arena, the team of trainer Julian Nagelsmann had little to fear from the number last in the rankings. A comfortable 0-3 victory was booked. With the twelfth league victory of the season, Leipzig remained in second place, seven points behind league-leader Bayern Munich.
It will therefore be difficult to become champion, but in the battle for a top-four classification, Die Roten Bullen is not in a bad position. The lead over number five Bayer Leverkusen is currently six points. An important week has dawned for Leipzig. On Tuesday, the team will face Liverpool FC in the eighth final of the Champions League. The organization of that game took quite some effort, due to the entry ban that the German government just wanted to lift temporarily for a football team. Ultimately, we succeeded in finding an alternative location. The Puskas Arena in Budapest will be the backdrop for the game on Tuesday. Perhaps Nagelsmann will save some tribal forces on Friday, given the important European meeting.
Augsburg:
FC Augsburg is not in its strongest phase of the season. The club from the west of Bavaria (the region of Swabia) is in the middle bracket. There is not much wrong with that, but after a nice start to the season, the fans of Die Fuggerstädter were perhaps hoping for something more. Of the last five league matches, four were lost. Extenuating circumstances were that strong teams had to be played.
After the 3-1 defeat at Borussia Dortmund two weeks ago, they lost to VfL Wolfsburg last week. Augsburg had little to say against the number three in the rankings, which resulted in a 0-2 defeat. Now a new strong opponent awaits, with RB Leipzig. And the week after that, Augsburg travels to the Rhineland for an away game against Bayer Leverkusen. Grabbing points will therefore also be difficult in the next two duels.
