RB Leipzig FC Augsburg match preview

Victory, defeat, draw, and then victory again is the effect of Leipzig and Augsburg in the previous four rounds, with the absolute same order. When it comes to Leipzig, they are not playing even close to the previous season, but are again on the second place on the table, while Augsburg is at good seventh place with just four points less. Both teams have experienced six defeats, and it is interesting that Augsburg has even a better goal difference. In the first part of the season, Augsburg has defeated Leipzig with 1-0 on their field.

RB Leipzig

Leipzig's results are rather unpredictable this season and they are really not good for any prognosis, because they, for example, in the first part of the season lost to Hertha at home, while they at the beginning of the second part of the championship mastered   Schalke. They then lost away to Freiburg and played a draw with HSV on their field, after which they defeated Borussia in M'gladbach in the last round with 1-0.

That is why there is a statement that they can be overwhelmed when they look at the table, because last season they played much better and they ended up in the second place that they are now sharing with Bayer. Coach Hasenhuttl is trying to find a winning combination when it comes to lineup after a draw with HSV, but he has not changed anything in the last line, but he returned Keita in midfield. In the end, their reservist and the last reinforcement, midfielder Lookman, has brought them a victory in that match and he may now be the starter instead of Bruma.

Probable lineups RB Leipzig: Gulacsi – Laimer, Orban, Upamecano, Klostermann – Demme – Kampl, Keita, Sabitzer, Lookman – Ti.Werner

FC Augsburg

We have not expected much from Augsburg, so their placement in seventh place was quite satisfactory. It is equally important that they are not that giving up and they do not allow themselves any longer negative series, which would eventually bring them closer to the relegation zone. If they continue in the same rhythm, then they could start thinking about even going out on the European scene next season. Lately, they are mostly losing games as guests, but all against very strong opponents, Bayer, Schalke and Borussia M'gladbach. In the previous round, they welcomed one of the most successful guest teams, Eintracht from Frankfurt and defeated them with convincing 3-0.

It was just another confirmation of their good games at home this season, with only two defeats, of which the last one took place late in October. They completely outplayed Eintracht and deservedly celebrated, although striker Finnbogason was absent due to injury. They aslo could not count on the suspended Oparea on the right back, and the injured center-back Gouweleeuwa and midfielder Khedira because of yellow cards. It did not feel in the game and now only Khedira is likely to return instead of Moravek.

Probable lineups FC Augsburg: Hitz – Framberger, Danso, Hinteregger, Max – D.Baier, Khedira – Heller, Koo, Caiuby – Gregoritsch

Verdict:

These rivals are in equal form, but Leipzig is objectively much better and we expect their absolute dominance in this duel. Augsburg has already switched the plan and they are playing weaker as guests, which means we will not give them big chance against the current vice-champion.
