Augsburg vs RB Leipzig prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2025-02-13 19:30.
[p]Augsburg extended their unbeaten league run to five matches (W3, D2) after a goalless draw at Mainz last round. That run might place them third in the form table across the last five rounds, but it only saw them climb one place to 12th during that time, which shows just how poor they had been beforehand, winning just one of their eight league games before that revival (D3, L4).[/p]
[p]Their recent run has come despite playing only two of their six Bundesliga games in 2025 on home soil, although losing two of the last three Bundesliga games here suggests that’s maybe not a blessing. Those losses did come against UEFA Champions League participants, and with RB Leipzig having competed in that competition this season too, Augsburg can’t rule out seeing their 16-match winless H2H run continue (D5, L11).[/p]
[p]After a four-match league run without victory, Leipzig finally won again in the Bundesliga courtesy of a 2-0 home victory over St. Pauli. They still sit fourth in the table despite a shaky start to 2025, but they’re starting to come under huge pressure from the chasing pack, so they should be encouraged at visiting a ground where they haven’t lost since 2017 (W4, D4). [/p]
[p]Back-to-back away league draws would suggest another stalemate could ensue here, and Leipzig haven’t been particularly good travellers of late, winning just one of their last seven league road trips (D2, L4), and even that was against relegation-threatened Holstein Kiel! The most concerning aspect will be the manner of the defeats as three of the four were despite scoring first, meaning that no Bundesliga team has lost more games after opening the scoring than Leipzig this season. [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Prior to their last home win, Keven Schlotterbeck predicted he would head home the winner and he did so in injury-time (2-1) having scored all three of his Bundesliga goals for Augsburg at home. Leipzig’s Benjamin Ĺ eško has opened the scoring inside 20 minutes with his last three goals – he’s scored a joint-career high three times in the Bundesliga against Augsburg.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Augsburg have conceded a joint-league high five Bundesliga home goals in the opening 15 minutes, whilst scoring a joint-league low none in that period themselves. [/p]
