Current form RB Leipzig
Leipzig has made it and celebrated the second victory in the second half. Striking in the spring so far: The Saxons always beat in those games in which a full success is not necessarily to be expected. So it was the prelude to the 3: 1 against FC Schalke 04 and also in the duel with Mönchengladbach last weekend, which could force 1-0 in the knee. Here’s where we want to put it: The victory in Gladbach was enormously important for the confidence of the Hasenhüttl-Elf, as it was the first game after seven rounds in series, in which one conceded no goal. The fact that this was done away from home and against an offensively strong home team like Gladbach is quite an honor and makes the upcoming tasks easier to handle. It is clear that Leipzig is seen by most bookmakers as a relatively clear favorite at home against Augsburg. There are good reasons for this as well: Leipzig is a much harder opponent in their own stadium than away. The home record still reads very well with 6 wins and 3 draws in 10 attempts, Leipzig still has lost only one home game. However, this home defeat with Hertha BSC (2: 3) was against a team that we currently do not rate as strongly as Friday opponents Augsburg. Faktum is: Leipzig has scored at least 2 goals in 2 out of the last 3 games in front of their home crowd and has scored at least once in each home game. A goal on Friday seems accordingly pre-programmed and is definitely worth a bet tip. All in all, at home they were clearly more accurate: 21 goals in their previous 10 home games, resulting in a score of just over 2 hits per game. As we have said, we saw problems with the Saxons rather defensively: 29 goals are the weakest value in the current Top-6 of the league, together with Borussia Dortmund. In addition, you still have to take at least one goal in every game against the Augsburg in the club history Leipzig. Accordingly, a bet on at least one match for both teams is a recommendation on our part. In fact, only one victory has been achieved so far in 5 clashes, but this in the home game of the preseason (2: 1). Coach Hasenhüttl also has to do without Emil Forsberg and Marcel Halstenberg on two regulars on Friday. But you seem to have signed a good alternative on the left wing with Ademola Lookman, the 20-year-old became in the 1-0 win over Gladbach after his substitution for the match winner.

Current form FC Augsburg
FC Augsburg again managed to avert an emerging minor earnings crisis last weekend. Like Leipzig they celebrated the second victory in the current second half, the second after the first game in the spring, which was won 1-0 against Hamburger SV. The fact that they can also compete against much better placed teams, showed the 3-0 against Eintracht Frankfurt impressive. Impressive because Augsburg from the beginning of an enormously run-intensive game on the day, the opponent disturbed early and did not let it come into play. The strengths of Eintracht in terms of dynamics hardly came to fruition, instead laced the Fugger city of their opponent. Striking also: Often Augsburg acted with high balls in the lead on the fast Marcel Heller, who can certainly be a real weapon on Friday, it is expected that Leipzig will try in a home game to control the encounter and accordingly high to stand. So Augsburg’s skills will be in demand in the switching game. Another strength of the men of Manuel Baum we see at standards. Philipp Max crystallized more and more as a specialist for crossings from the side out, with Michael Gregoritsch you also have a dangerous free-kick from more central positions. If one takes the susceptibility of Leipzig to standards, which could be recognized in the CL games of the fall, we see quite a chance for the guests. However: A look at the home record of Augsburg shows that out of 10 away games in the 2017/2018 season, only 3 could win. The last victory in foreign matches is already more than 2 months back, succeeded in 3: 1 in Mainz on 2 December of 2017. Fact is, however, that Augsburg scored with one exception in the last 9 games always a goal, Accordingly, certainly on Friday something is possible. In addition, there is no question that the tree-elf can compete without pressure, as the favorite role of many is clearly seen on the part of the Leipzig. Bitter: With Finnbogason and Gouweleeuw fall two absolute key players, but these were recently replaced well by Danso and Gregoritsch, the latter scored against Frankfurt his 9th goal of the season. However: Away, the FCA has been able to mark a total of 6 fewer hits than in home games. However, one is also one of those 5 teams, the most Torabschlüsse of all Bundesliga teams in a game book.

Our Prediction: RB Leipzig win @ 1.81
