RB Leipzig vs Augsburg Predictions

• Nine of Leipzig’s ten home league victories this season produced over 2.5 goals.
• This is now a must win game for Leipzig after their Europa League exit.
• Augsburg are all but safe in the Bundesliga, though one point will mathematically seal it.

Red Bulls are charging towards a top-four finish

RB Leipzig were disappointed to miss out on their first ever major European final despite winning the first leg against Rangers. Consequently, a top-four finish is now required in order for Leipzig to get Champions League football next season.

Sitting one point behind Freiburg ahead of this round, Leipzig must not lose this game if they are to take the race to the final day, though a draw would leave them vulnerable to Cologne closing the gap on them.

When Leipzig win, they often do so well. Nine of their ten home league wins this season produced over 2.5 total goals while as many also saw a -1 handicap busting winning margin, suggesting that they will be at it yet again this time around.

Augsburg’s season is all but over

While one point is needed to mathematically secure their Bundesliga status, it is likely that it is already done as Stuttgart would need to win their final two games in order to catch them, one of which comes away to Bayern Munich.

Augsburg have won just three of their 16 away league games this season and when they lose, it has often been quite entertaining for fans of the home team. Seven of Augsburg’s nine away league defeats also produced over 2.5 total goals while four also saw a 2+ goal losing margin.

Considering the circumstances and quality of both sides, we predict that Leipzig will win this game in entertaining fashion. With goals aplenty, we are sticking with a 3-1 Leipzig win in the correct score market as the hosts look to put their midweek disappointment behind them.
