Leipzig’s leap forward
A home match against Augsburg isn't exactly the toughest game you could have on a Saturday, but that shouldn't be an excuse for RB Leipzig to underperform in this encounter against mid-table Bundesliga 2026/2027 side.
With 15 points from eight matches, Die Roten Bullen have their hands around this Bundesliga 2026/2027 campaign so far and currently sit fourth, although they will need to keep their form going in the second half of the season to have a chance of getting into the European places.
Martin Demichelis' side are a high-press team, but they are getting more and more comfortable when they have the ball and the combination of the two has started to click in recent weeks. A 4-0 home win over SV Elversberg is their last Bundesliga result, which followed up back-to-back away wins to make it three consecutive wins in all competitions.
Augsburg’s away woes
Manuel Baum's Augsburg have been pretty ordinary in Bundesliga 2026/2027 so far, sitting 9th with nine points from their opening eight games. A win, two draws and two defeats across their last five in all competitions doesn't exactly point to the club having found a consistent groove yet.
Die Fuggerstädter have conceded eight goals across their three Bundesliga 2026/2027 away trips, so their defensive line is already under the pump. They set up in a compact, pragmatic style with an emphasis on second balls and counter-attacking, which should suit Leipzig on Saturday, but Baum's men have the forward thrust to trouble their opponents when they do get in behind.
Leipzig can exploit the visitors
Augsburg will frustrate Die Roten Bullen when they can, but Leipzig have the style and players to exploit the space when Augsburg push forward. Antonio Nusa is a livewire and has scored twice in four Bundesliga 2026/2027 appearances, while Michael Gregoritsch will always have a goal in him for Augsburg as he has shown with three in four.
Leipzig should be the clear favourites for this game at 1.45, with Augsburg at 5.6 and the draw at 4.9. The home win and over 2.5 goals market represents the best alternative bet as Leipzig should be able to win a game that will be competitive at times.
