Leipzig’s edge and the table stakes
FC Augsburg travel to Leipzig with a difficult recent record against RB Leipzig to overcome: they have not won any of the sides’ last five meetings. The latest was a 2-1 Leipzig victory in March, and the hosts will look to extend that unbeaten sequence at the Red Bull Arena.
The teams also arrive at different points in the Bundesliga table. Leipzig are fourth on 15 points after eight matches, six places and six points above Augsburg, who sit 10th on nine.
Opposite directions in form
Leipzig have won their last two league matches and taken three victories from their last five, alongside two defeats. They have scored 13 goals and conceded eight across that five-game stretch.
Augsburg’s recent run is less encouraging: they are without a win in six and have lost their last league match. Their last five brought two draws and three defeats, with nine goals scored and 12 conceded.
Leipzig have held the upper hand
Across the last five meetings, Leipzig have three wins and two draws, while Augsburg have no victories. The most recent result, Leipzig’s 2-1 win, followed a 0-6 away victory for them in October 2025. Leipzig also won 4-0 at home in September 2024, while the teams drew 0-0 and 2-2 in the other two encounters.
Home defence against Augsburg’s attack
Leipzig’s home record offers another reason for confidence: they have won all four of their league matches at home, scoring 18 goals without conceding and keeping four clean sheets. Across eight league games overall, they have five wins and five clean sheets.
Augsburg have scored nine goals in three away league matches, but conceded eight and lost twice. Their wider league record stands at two wins, three draws and three defeats, with just one clean sheet.
Our prediction
Leipzig’s winning home record and unbeaten run in this fixture give them the advantage, while Augsburg’s six-match winless spell points to a challenging visit. PreviaXI’s model also favours the hosts, though Augsburg’s recent scoring suggests they can find a goal.
