Augsburg vs RB Leipzig: Prediction, Preview & Betting Tips

With Augsburg on a bad little spell of form and RB Leipzig suffering away from home, we think a high-scoring draw could be on the cards in Friday night’s Bundesliga action.

Augsburg have been winless in their last three matches, and worse for them, the home side has been winless in the previous 16 meetings against RB Leipzig and without a clean sheet in the last 13 against the visitors. At home, form is slightly improved, with only two losses from their previous four games following their 2-1 win over Heidenheim.

RB Leipzig, as mentioned, have a fantastic record against the visitors, yet their away form is troubling. The visitors are without a win in their previous four away matches in the Bundesliga.

Over 2.5 goals have been scored in the last six meetings between the two teams, and such a 2-2 draw could be on the cards here.

Augsburg 2-2 RB Leipzig

RB Leipzig looks to continue their push towards Champions League football for next season when they travel to face Augsburg, seemingly destined for a mid-table finish in the Bundesliga for this season.

Date: 14/02/2025
Location: WWK ARENA, Augsburg.
Kick-Off: 7.30 pm

Augsburg have performed admirably this season in the Bundesliga, with the home side highly unlikely to be drawn into any relegation battle. Perhaps the home side may be looking at a possible European push towards the latter stages of the campaign. Augsburg are in 12th place in the Bundesliga, with 27 points gained from 21 league games, having won precisely a third of their games this season. The home side are 13 points clear of strugglers Heidenheim and find themselves six points behind Mainz 05, who occupy a UEFA Europa Conference League spot. Augsburg can move ahead of Borussia Dortmund with a win on Friday.

RB Leipzig are hunting another season back in the UEFA Champions League and have a chance of potential silverware with the away side in the quarter-finals of the DFB Pokal against VfL Wolfsburg. Leipzig, though, suffered a terrible campaign in the UEFA Champions League and was eliminated at the first huddle in the newly adapted league phase. In the league, though, RB Leipzig are currently fourth in the league standings, a point ahead of fifth-placed VfB Stuttgart. This would mean a defeat would allow Stuttgart to overtake RB Leipzig. A win for RB Leipzig would leave them level on points with Eintracht Frankfurt in third place, should Frankfurt drop any valuable points.

Predicted Augsburg Eleven: Dahmen, Matsima, Gouweleeuw, Schlotterbeck, Wolf, Jakic, Onyeka, Zesiger, Komur, Claude-Maurice, Essende.

Predicted RB Leipzig Eleven: Gulacsi, Geertruida, Klostermann, Lukeba, Baku, Kampl, Haidara, Raum, Nusa, Simons, Sesko.

The recent meetings between the two teams would suggest that RB Leipzig are undoubtedly the overwhelming favourites for this game. RB Leipzig are unbeaten in the last 16 meetings between the two teams, with Augsburg without a clean sheet in the previous 13 attempts against the visitors. RB Leipzig have also won the first half of eight of the previous ten meetings between the two teams. The last time Augsburg recorded a victory against RB Leipzig was in 2017, thanks to a goal from Michael Gregoritsch.

Augsburg are heading into his game, seeking a win after going three without a win in their last three matches in all competitions. Augsburg’s previous defeat saw them knocked out of the DFB Pokal at the hands of VfB Stuttgart (1-0). In the league, though, Augsburg have been impressive with three wins in their previous five league matches, following three victories against Union Berlin (0-2), Werder Bremen (0-2) and Heidenheim (2-1).

On home soil, form is slightly improved, with only two losses from their last four games following their 2-1 win over Heidenheim. Augsburg have lost consecutive league games in their previous five home matches against VfB Stuttgart (0-1) and Bayer Leverkusen (0-2).

RB Leipzig comes into this game unbeaten in their last four league matches, following their recent 2-0 win against St.Pauli. RB Leipzig have drawn three consecutive games during this run of games against Union Berlin (0-0), Bayer Leverkusen (2-2) and VfL Bochum (3-3).

Away from home, RB Leipzig have been relatively poor, as the visitors have gone four games on the road without a win. The away side have drawn their last two away games against Union Berlin and VfL Bochum, whilst losing to VfB Stuttgart (2-1) and Bayern Munich (5-1).

The recent meeting between the two teams resulted in a 4-0 win for RB Leipzig, with goals from Benjamin Sesko (x2), Lois Openda and Xavi Simons.
