RB Leipzig vs Augsburg Predictions

• Over 3.5 goals has been a winning bet in eight of Augsburg’s 13 Bundesliga aways this season.
• Nine of Leipzig’s last 11 Bundesliga home games have had three goals or more.
• Eight of Augsburg’s last ten Bundesliga away games have had four goals or more.

Red Bulls are charging towards a top-four finish

RB Leipzig have made it to a DFB-Pokal semi-final and into the top four of the Bundesliga at the conclusion of the previous round, so things are looking up for the club! That came with back-to-back victories without reply, but Leipzig may have a tougher time keeping out one of the division’s most prolific away scorers in Augsburg.

Leipzig have lost only two of their 11 home Bundesliga matches this season, but they may struggle to keep Augsburg out. Only Bayern and Leipzig have scored more away league goals than Augsburg this term, a stat which raises hopes of the away side leaving a mark.

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

Going for goals

With a top-four place in the palm of their hands, Leipzig must fire on all cylinders if they want to maintain their gap. However, with a mixture of inconsistent form and Augsburg’s impressive scoring record, we think that both teams could find themselves on the scoresheet.

Whilst Leipzig are worthy favourites, approximate 1.25 odds about victory doesn’t represent value in the slightest. As such, we’re going for a Leipzig BTTS & win selection in this game with a smaller stakes pick going the way of a high-scoring 3-1 home win in the correct score market to complete our selections for this encounter.
