Augsburg vs RB Leipzig prediction: Goals anticipated at both ends
Key Stats
- Six of RB Leipzig’s last eight games in the Champions League have featured goals at both ends.
- RB Leipzig have failed to win six of their last seven away games in the Bundesliga.
- Augsburg are in the midst of a five-match unbeaten run in the league.
- Both teams managed to score in each of the last three meetings between the clubs at the WWK Arena.
Correct score prediction: Augsburg 1-1 RB Leipzig
Augsburg avoided defeat in each of their last five Bundesliga fixtures and they could pose problems for an RB Leipzig side that has won only once in seven attempts on the road. A score draw could be an outcome to consider here.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Hosts a more attractive prospect
- HOME: 5/2 (3.50) – 28.6%
- DRAW: 5/2 (3.50) – 28.6%
- AWAY: 21/20 (2.05) – 48.8%
*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Augsburg picked up a useful point at Mainz (0-0) last time out to prolong their unbeaten run, but despite their uptick in form, they remain 5/2 underdogs here.
RB Leipzig eased to a 2-0 win over St Pauli in their last assignment, but have found the going tougher on the road of late, so they offer little value at 21/20 on Friday. View more of our latest football predictions and analysis on our dedicated page.

Player to watch – Cédric Zesiger
January loan signing Cédric Zesiger has hit the ground running for Augsburg and the versatile Swiss defender could star again for his temporary employers on Friday.

Zesiger a card market option
Zesiger loves a tough tackle and the 26-year-old was booked in two of his first three starts for Augsburg. The wingback also picked up four yellow cards in just five Bundesliga starts for parent club Wolfsburg early this term and he could be worth backing to be cautioned again here.
