- RB Leipzig have won all 4 of their Bundesliga 2026/2027 home matches.

- RB Leipzig have won 3 of the last 5 meetings, with Augsburg yet to taste victory.
Leipzig living up to their favourite’s status
The bookies have got this one right and RB Leipzig are favourites at 9/20 for this Saturday's clash against Augsburg at Red Bull Arena. Die Fuggerstädter are a decent 23/5 to get a result and the draw is an enormous 39/10, but the gap between these two sides is a little wider than the market reflects based on the start they have made to the campaign.
Die Roten Bullen have a firm grip on 4th spot in the Bundesliga 2026/2027 after amassing 15 points from their first eight matches. Leipzig have won their last 3 matches across all competitions, including consecutive away victories and a 4-0 hammering of SV Elversberg in their last home Bundesliga 2026/2027 outing. Martin Demichelis has his side pressing high and dominating the ball more and it's beginning to come together for them.
Augsburg in mid-table mediocrity
Augsburg sit mid-table and 9th with 9 points from their opening eight matches. Augsburg have struggled for consistency, recording 1 win, 2 draws and 2 defeats in their last five across all competitions. Manuel Baum has set them up in a compact, pragmatic system that will be tough to break down and they are always ready to pounce in transition.
Augsburg do have a little bit of a livewire in Michael Gregoritsch, who has 3 goals in 4 Bundesliga 2026/2027 games and can provide some direct punch in attack. But Michael Gregoritsch is their biggest threat with 3 goals in 4 Bundesliga 2026/2027 matches and the sort of clinical finish that can nick a result.
Leipzig likely to hold sway
This looks a decent match up on paper as Augsburg's set up should suit how Leipzig like to play and the hosts will be looking to get after the visitors right from the start. Leipzig should have the ball for long periods in this match and can take the victory if they can keep Augsburg pinned back enough, which they should be able to do.
Augsburg are yet to win at Leipzig in their last two attempts and they have already shipped 8 goals in their 3 away matches in Bundesliga 2026/2027, so the back four will be in for a tough afternoon. A home win and over 2.5 goals looks a great way to play this one in the main market, but the odds on Leipzig winning and over 2.5 goals is an even better option.
