Augsburg vs RB Leipzig prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2025-10-24 13:30.
[p]As they seek to continue moving away from the relegation zone with their return to form, Augsburg could be meeting high-flying RB Leipzig at the wrong time.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Augsburg’s improving defending is starting to pay dividends, as they’ve gone unbeaten in back-to-back games for the first time this season under Sandro Wagner, the first of which saw them claim their only home points of the season when beating Wolfsburg 3-1. Any early pressure on Wagner’s shoulders is therefore starting to lift, but he’ll now be desperate for his side to show more solidity at the back as Augsburg are on an 11-game Bundesliga run without a clean sheet, their longest run since going 14 without a shutout last year. [/p]
[p]Leipzig have flown out of the blocks in a similar manner to their disastrous 2024/25 campaign, which serves as a fresh reminder that it can’t be taken for granted. It’s the first time they’ve won five of their first seven league games in back-to-back top-flight seasons, secured by beating Hamburg 2-1 last time out. Ole Werner’s side are unbeaten on the road since their opening round 6-0 loss at Bayern Munich (W2, D1) and have looked comfortable against lower-ranked opponents, winning four out of four Bundesliga games against sides who finished the previous round in the bottom half while keeping three clean sheets. [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Augsburg are winless in 15 consecutive Bundesliga games against Leipzig (D6, L9), their longest such run against any side in the division. [/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Augsburg’s last eight Bundesliga games saw both teams score. [/p]

[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Fabian Rieder has directly contributed to a goal in each of Augsburg’s last three Bundesliga games (G1, A2) and will be hoping to become the first player since Ermedin Demirović to score or assist for the club in four straight league games. Following his match-winning brace against Hamburg, Leipzig midfielder Christoph Baumgartner is on the verge of being the first Bundesliga player since 2015 to both score and be booked in three consecutive matches. [/p]
[p]Augsburg captain Jeffrey Gouweleeuw is moving closer to selection after returning to training last week, while Elvis Rexhbecaj will face another fitness test during the week. Leipzig’s Ridle Baku is recovering from a knock and Timo Werner is doubtful after missing training with illness.[/p]
