Augsburg hosts RB Leipzig in round 16 of the German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Wednesday, December 15th at WWK Arena (Augsburg)
Augsburg got used to the fact that it constantly takes places at the bottom of the standings. But it is enough to gain an average of one point per round in the Bundesliga in order to avoid relegation in the end. Perhaps this time the competition will be higher, and it is far from certain that the Fuggers are ready for this. They have 16 points after 15 matches, but only a couple of outsiders, Arminia Bielefeld and Greuther Furth, are lower. But 16th place means participation in the playoffs, with the risk of being relegated to Bundesliga 2. It seems that Markus Weinzierl and his players understand this too. They are trying to step up, and there is some progress. The lion's share of points (10 out of 16) was earned in the last six rounds of the championship. Last Friday, Augsburg managed to squeeze the maximum out of the trip to Cologne. The Goats had a noticeable advantage, but the Fuggers managed to score twice at the end of the match and gained a very important victory.

At first, RB Leipzig could not find a worthy successor for Julian Nagelsmann, who was released (actually sold) to Bayern Munich. In fact, autumn has shown that the simplest and most obvious steps are not often successful. Jesse Marsch was invited from Salzburg, which is a representative of the same corporate group. But the American failed in his new place. Under his management, the Red Bulls failed to surprise again in the Champions League, finishing behind PSG and Manchester City. And Marsch’s resignation took place after three consecutive defeats in the Bundesliga when the ambitious team fell into the middle of the standings. RB Leipzig got a new head coach, Domenico Tedesco. He made Spartak Moscow the vice-champion of Russia, but German fans probably remember the 2nd place of Schalke in the Bundesliga more. The young specialist started with a 4-1 victory over Borussia Monchengladbach. And before that, RB Leipzig beat Manchester City in the Champions League under an interim coach. That win didn't mean anything, but the mood should have been improved.
RB Leipzig has won all five previous head-to-head matches. And there was only one victory of Augsburg in the 12 last games (it was gained in 2017). By the way, then the teams also played at WWK Arena. Now bookmakers are expecting the victory of RB Leipzig. This team is stronger, and it received an impulse from the change of a head coach. We think that the visitors will win with a difference of more than one goal.
Prediction for the match: RB Leipzig to win with -1.0 handicap
