RB Leipzig vs Augsburg Prediction & Betting Tips (28 September)

Still in search of the first German championship title in its history, Leipzig, who finished at the foot of the podium last May, did not get off to an ideal start at the start of the season. In fact, RasenBall Sport was only able to achieve "only" 8 points out of the 12 put into play during the first 4 days and it is already 4 points behind the leader which is none other than Bayern Munich. Everything started well for Marco Rose's men who were able to win against Bochum 1-0 and against the reigning champion, Bayer Leverkusen 2-3. But they showed themselves to be out of inspiration during the next two days against Union Berlin 0-0 and St. Pauli 0-0. In the meantime, they also lost their first Champions League match against Atlético Madrid 2-1.

Opposite, FC Augsburg logically displays more limited ambitions than those of their opponent of the day. Because if the last season was rather interesting with a final 11th place, this team is much more used to having to fight for its survival in the elite. Since the restart, the Bavarians started with a draw against Werder Bremen 2-2 and a big defeat suffered by Heidenheim 4-0. Then, they were able to win against Sankt Pauli 3-1 before being beaten again by Mainz 2-3. In the standings, Augsburg is in 12th place in this Bundesliga.

Long-term injured, midfielder Schlager will not be available to Marco Rose for this match. This should also not be the case for the hopeful Ouédraogo and the precious Kampl who are also in the infirmary. On the offensive side, however, the former Lensois Openda is very present, he who had scored 2 goals during the first 2 days but who is now marking time. His friend Xavi Simons and the Slovenian Sesko have still not opened their account this season. On the Augsburg side, the Japanese Okugawa (back from ready) and defender Gunmy are not operational this weekend.

In addition, former Ligue 2 resident Samuel Essende (ex Caen and Pau) will be suspended this weekend after being sent off a few minutes after scoring his second goal of the season. This could allow former Brest player Steve Mounié to start in the center of the Bavarian attack. Note that the former Niçois and Lensois Claude-Maurice has still not made his debut under his new colors.
