We have a full round of fixtures to enjoy in the German Bundesliga this weekend, including the meeting between RB Leipzig and Augsburg.
The match will be played on the 15th of April at the Red Bull Arena and the hosts are currently 4th in the Bundesliga on 48 points while the visitors are in 13th place on 29 points.
RB Leipzig come into the game having beat Hertha Berlin 1-0 away from home in the Bundesliga last weekend. The only goal of the match was scored in the 39th minute and RB Leipzig kept out the hosts in the second half to take maximum points.
That win over Hertha Berlin was the second victory in a row for BR Leipzig following the excellent 2-0 win over Borussia Dortmund in the quarter-final of the DFB Pokal.
RB Leipzig opened the scoring in the 20th minute and secured their place in the semi-final with another goal at the end of the game.
However, they are the only 2 wins from RB Leipzig’s 5 most recent fixtures in all competitions, with defeats coming against Bochum and Mainz in the Bundesliga plus a 7-0 loss at Manchester City in the Champions League.
Trends show RB Leipzig are unbeaten in 29 of their last 34 home games in all competitions. They are undefeated in 12 of their last 14 home Bundesliga matches and there have been over 2.5 goals scored in the 5 most recent home games in the Bundesliga of RB Leipzig.
Augsburg travel to the Red Bull Arena on the back of a 3-1 home defeat at the hands of FC Cologne last weekend in the Bundesliga.
Augsburg conceded 2 goals inside the first 13 minutes of the match but got one back in the 29th minute. Into the second half and FC Cologne scored the only goal to run out winners.
The defeat to FC Cologne saw Augsburg drop below them in the table and they have failed to win any of their last 4 fixtures in the Bundesliga.
Augsburg have won only 1 of their last 6 Bundesliga games and they have a poor away record. Trends show Augsburg have failed to win any of their last 9 away league matches and have lost 5 of their last 6 games on the road.
In each of their last 10 away Bundesliga matches, FC Augsburg have allowed 2 or more goals.
Looking ahead to the team news and RB Leipzig have several players on the treatment table including Emil Forsberg, Konrad Laimer, Yussuf Poulsen, Peter Gulacsi, and Xaver Schlager. Christopher Nkunku could return from a hamstring injury.
Augsburg are without suspended forward Ermedin Demirovic. Niklas Dorsch, Kelvin Yeboah, Andre Hahn, and Tobias Strobl are all injured and there are doubts over the fitness of Mërgim Berisha.
Augsburg could be without their two top goal scorers this season and it is difficult to make a case for them to get anything from this match. RB Leipzig have got back to winning ways recently and should take maximum points, with over 2.5 goals scored in total.
