Leipzig to edge out Augsburg

On Saturday afternoon, Augsburg host RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga, as the visitors look to keep pace with leaders Dortmund at the top of the table.

Augsburg have endured a mixed start to their Bundesliga campaign, picking up just eight points from their first seven league games this season.

The home side has now won just one of their last six games in the German top-flight while losing three of their last five outings in the Bundesliga. Their recent Bundesliga games have been high scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five matches. Last time out the home side suffered a 4-3 defeat at leaders Dortmund.

Augsburg recent form on home soil in the German top-flight has been inconsistent, but they have won just one of their last four home games in the Bundesliga. Both teams have also scored in six of their last seven home matches in the German top-flight.

RB Leipzig have kicked off their Bundesliga campaign in fine form. The visitors are currently second place in the German top-flight table, three points behind leaders Dortmund.

Ralf Rangnick’s team are six games unbeaten in the Bundesliga, having recorded four victories in the process. A key to the visitor's good start to their league campaign has been their attacking threat, as Leipzig have scored at least twice in four of their last five outings.

Last time out the visitors hammered Nurnberg 6-0 on home soil to continue their good start to the German top-flight campaign.

Leipzig have an inconsistent away record in the Bundesliga of late though, recording three wins in their last nine games on their travels. Their recent away games have been high scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in their last four away matches in the Bundesliga.

Forebet predicts that RB Leipzig will continue their recent good form and record a victory in a high scoring clash.
