Red Bull Leipzig vs Augsburg predictions: Visitors to hold their own
Key stats
- Augsburg won five of their last six matches.
- RB Leipzig are without a win in their last four home games.
- Six of RB Leipzig's last seven games produced goals at both ends.
Correct score prediction: RB Leipzig 2-3 Augsburg
To be fair, RB Leipzig cruised to a comfortable 6-0 victory in the reverse fixture and are unbeaten in 18 consecutive meetings between these sides.
However, despite being the clear favourites, Ole Werner’s troops have struggled at home in recent weeks, with no wins in their last four matches at Red Bull Arena.
In contrast, Augsburg are on a three-game winning run and were victorious in five of their last six matches. Despite their struggles against Leipzig in the past, we are confident that the visitors will emerge victorious in a high-scoring encounter.

- HOME: 4/9 (1.44) – 69.2%
- DRAW: 4/1 (5.00) – 20%
- AWAY: 21/4 (6.25) – 16%

Augsburg defeated Koln by two unanswered goals in their last outing. They have proven to be a tough team to beat, losing only once in their last eight matches.

Red Bull Leipzig preview: Injury woes continue
The injury gods remain firmly against RB Leipzig ahead of the new round of matches. In their last game against Hamburger SV, seven first-team players were ruled out with injuries, including first-choice goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi (MCL), Xaver Schlager (muscle), Sani Suleiman (ankle), Ayodele Thomas (muscle), Assan Ouedraogo (knee), Viggo Gebel (ACL), and Kosta Nedeljkovic (back).
At the time of writing, these seven players remain out of action, meaning that Leipzig are far from having a clean bill of health, a situation that could derail their quest to finish in the top four this season.
Predicted lineup: Vandevoordt (GK), Baku, Orban, Lukeba, Raum, Gruda, Seiwald, Baumgartner, Diomande, Romulo, Nusa
Last five matches
- 01/03/26: HSV 1-2 Leipzig (Bundesliga)

- 15/02/26: RB Leipzig 2-2 VfL Wolfsburg (Bundesliga)
- 11/02/26: Bayern Munich 2-0 RB Leipzig (DFB Pokal)
- 08/02/26: 1. FC Koln 1-2 RB Leipzig (Bundesliga)
Augsburg preview: Eyeing their fourth consecutive victory
Similarly for Augsburg, the visitors are missing the services of quite a number of first-team players due to injury, including Jeffrey Gouweleeuw (MCL), Chrislain Matsima (hamstring), Dimitrios Giannoulis (ACL), and Kristijan Jakic (hamstring).
Additionally, the win over Koln last time out saw left-back Cedric Zesiger pick up a milestone yellow card, which means he is suspended for this encounter.
Predicted lineup: Dahmen (GK), Banks, Schlotterbeck, Chaves, Fellhauer, Massengo, Rexhbecaj, Rieder, Claude-Maurice, Komur & Ribeiro
Last five matches
- 27/02/26: Augsburg 2-0 Cologne (Bundesliga)

Player to watch: Christoph Baumgartner
