Leipzig have a 12-3 advantage against Augsburg with 6 draws in 21 matches.

Augsburg Form

Augsburg were on an amazing three-game winning streak in late January, claiming victories against Union Berlin 2-0, Werder Bremen 2-0 and Heidenheim 2-1.

They have been winless since then though, starting February with a 1-1 draw at St Pauli, followed by a 1-0 defeat at Stuttgart.

Last weekend, Augsburg were outplayed by Mainz but got away with a goalless draw, ending the match with 0.37-1.47 expected goals, 33% possession and 2-5 shots on target.

Leipzig Form

Leipzig are having disappointing season across competitions, grabbing just three points in the UEFA Champions League group stage, while they are 4th in Bundesliga, 18 points behind the leaders Bayern Munich.

The Bulls had a couple of good displays in late January, beating Sporting Lisbon 2-1 and then holding the reigning champions Leverkusen to a 2-2 draw, but ended the month with a 1-0 loss to Sturm Graz in Austria.

So far, they played two games in February, a goalless draw at Union Berlin and last weekend’s 2-0 home win over St Pauli, Benjamin Sesko and Xavi Simons appearing on the scoresheet.

Team News

Augsburg are having lengthy injury list ahead of this clash. Some of the most important names on it are Mergim Berisha, Yusuf Kabadayi, Robert Gumny, Mads Pedersen, Chrislain Matsima and Keven Schotterbeck.

As for the visitors, Forzan Assan and Xaver Schlager are doubtful, while Yussuf Poulsen and Benjamin Henrichs are injured. Willy Orban is serving a one-match suspension.

Predicted Starting Lineups

Augsburg: Dahmen, Zesiger, Banks, Wolf, Deger, Maier, Onyeka, Giannoulis, Jensen, Claude-Maurice, Essende

Leipzig: Gulacsi, Geertruida, Bitshiabu, Castello, Baku, Haidara, Kampl, Raum, Simons, Openda, Sesko

Verdict

Augsburg v RB Leipzig

More than five players from Augsburg’s starting XI are injured. Leipzig claimed a convincing 4-0 victory against this opponent earlier this season, so I see value in backing the Bulls to win on Friday.
