RB Leipzig welcome the visitors FC Augsburg in the German Bundesliga – Round 25. The match will be held on Saturday, March, 9th, at the Red Bull Arena (Leipzig).
The hosting RB Leipzig compete for the 3rd tier in the standings, running 2 points ahead of the under recession Borussia Monchengladbach; however, they should be mindful of Bayer 04 Leverkusen and Eintracht Frankfurt who sit close to them (featuring a 5-6 point breakaway). Thus, under such a tight fight, Leipzig cannot afford slipups and fails against lower-table sides like FC Augsburg. Moreover, they play on their turf. Leipzig are very strong in defense: they allowed 20 goals, which is the league’s best record, and they suffer no loss within 6 matches wherein they missed only twice.

The visiting side cannot boast their results: in the last 6 matches, they could overcome the opponents only in 2 home fixtures and lost 4 times. The team presently sit 15th with a 3-point breakaway from the play-offs. Augsburg’s main goal is to stay in the elite division and preferably without competing in the knockouts. The side need to attain points, which is hardly doable in the outing against Leipzig, as whenever they attain points, this normally happens at home. Both Augsburg’s defense and attack is not blistering: the record reads 34 goals made versus 46 goals allowed.
Leipzig, who are better-knit and more consistent, are certainly considered favorites in the coming clash. Indeed, the ‘Fuggerstadter’ won Borussia Dortmund in the last round, that was a home win though and the opponents then undergo a recession, but they are unlikely to rack up points in their trip to Leipzig – the hosts significantly outclass them. Therefore, we’re predicting the homeside’s win, whereas their whitewash is also worth betting on.
Prediction for the match: RB Leipzig to win home.
