RB Leipzig vs Augsburg Prediction 28 Sep 2024

⚽ Bundesliga - Round 5 Preview

🏟 Red Bull Arena (Leipzig)

RB Leipzig’s early-season momentum has slowed after back-to-back 0-0 draws in the Bundesliga (W2, D2). A defeat in the UEFA Champions League against Atlético Madrid (2-1) further dented their confidence. The frustration for Marco Rose’s side stems from dominating possession in both stalemates without capitalizing on it. Leipzig will, however, feel optimistic about their chances of getting back on track, as they have won their last five home meetings against Augsburg. Victory this weekend would also extend their current home unbeaten streak to nine matches, equaling their best run since September last year.

Augsburg, on the other hand, have struggled for consistency. After losing 3-2 to Mainz in a chaotic match that saw both sides reduced to ten men, they have now conceded ten goals in their first four matches – one of the worst defensive records in the Bundesliga this season. Augsburg’s form is concerning, as they have won just one of their first five games for the fourth consecutive season, and they are currently on a five-match away losing streak, which equals their worst run since 2021.
