Leipzig’s attacking quality vs Augsburg’s recent form
This Bundesliga fixture sees RB Leipzig host Augsburg at the Red Bull Arena on Saturday 7th March 2026. Leipzig enter the match as heavy favourites given their historical dominance over Augsburg, though the visitors arrive with impressive recent form that could make this an entertaining contest.
Leipzig are looking to bounce back from a mixed run of results, having drawn their last two home matches against Borussia Dortmund and Wolfsburg. Manager Ole Werner will be demanding a response from his side as they look to maintain their challenge at the top end of the Bundesliga table.
Augsburg, meanwhile, have been in excellent form with three wins from their last four matches. Under manager Manuel Baum, the Fuggerstädter have shown resilience and attacking threat, making them a dangerous opponent despite their historical struggles against Leipzig.
RB Leipzig Team News & Squad Analysis
RB Leipzig are led by head coach Ole Werner, who is assisted by Jan Zimmermann, Tom Cichon, Patrick Kohlmann, and Imre Szabics. Werner will have a strong squad at his disposal for this fixture.
Goalkeepers: Péter Gulácsi, Maarten Vandevoordt, Leopold Zingerle
Defenders: Willi Orbán, Castello Lukeba, Lukas Klostermann, Benjamin Henrichs, David Raum, El Chadaille Bitshiabu, Ridle Baku, Kosta Nedeljković, Max Finkgräfe, Jonathan Norbye
Midfielders: Xaver Schlager, Nicolas Seiwald, Christoph Baumgartner, Antonio Nusa, Assan Ouédraogo, Andrija Maksimović, Ezechiel Banzuzi, Benno Kaltefleiter, Viggo Gebel
Attackers: Johan Bakayoko, Conrad Harder, Brajan Gruda, Yan Diomande, Samba Konaté, Tidiam Gomis, Sani Suleiman, Ayodele Thomas, Rômulo
Leipzig possess considerable attacking firepower with the likes of Johan Bakayoko, who brings pace and creativity from the wing. The midfield duo of Xaver Schlager and Nicolas Seiwald provides a solid foundation, while Willi Orbán anchors the defence. Recent results suggest Leipzig have been vulnerable at the back, conceding in their last five matches across all competitions.
Augsburg Team News & Squad Analysis
Augsburg are managed by Manuel Baum, with Imre Szabics serving as assistant coach. Baum has his squad playing with confidence after a strong run of results.
Goalkeepers: Finn Dahmen, Nediljko Labrović, Daniel Klein
Defenders: Jeffrey Gouweleeuw, Keven Schlotterbeck, Cédric Zesiger, Chrislain Matsima, Dimitrios Giannoulis, Mads Pedersen, Oliver Sorg, Arthur Chaves, Felix Meiser, Robin Fellhauer, Noahkai Banks
Midfielders: Kristijan Jakić, Elvis Rexhbeçaj, Fabian Rieder, Alexis Claude-Maurice, Marius Wolf, Han-Noah Massengo, Yannik Keitel, Mert Kömür, Mahmut Küçüksahin, Tim Schnitzer, Anton Kade
Attackers: Michael Gregoritsch, Rodrigo Ribeiro, Ismaël Gharbi, Thomas Kastanaras, Uchenna Ogundu
Augsburg’s squad features experienced campaigners like Michael Gregoritsch, who provides a focal point in attack. The midfield pairing of Kristijan Jakić and Elvis Rexhbeçaj offers both defensive cover and creative passing. Recent victories against Köln and Wolfsburg demonstrate this side’s ability to compete with quality opposition.
The head-to-head record between these sides heavily favours RB Leipzig. In the last 10 meetings, Leipzig have recorded 6 wins with 4 draws, while Augsburg have failed to win any of those encounters.
Leipzig have been particularly prolific in this fixture, scoring 28 goals across those 10 matches (2.8 per game on average), while Augsburg have managed just 9 goals in response.
Recent H2H Results:
October 2025: Augsburg 0-6 RB Leipzig (Bundesliga)
February 2025: Augsburg 0-0 RB Leipzig (Bundesliga)
September 2024: RB Leipzig 4-0 Augsburg (Bundesliga)
February 2024: Augsburg 2-2 RB Leipzig (Bundesliga)
September 2023: RB Leipzig 3-0 Augsburg (Bundesliga)
Leipzig’s 6-0 demolition of Augsburg in October 2025 stands out as a particularly emphatic result, though Augsburg did manage a goalless draw in the reverse fixture last season. The pattern suggests Leipzig tend to dominate at home, with four of their five home wins in this H2H run coming by margins of 2+ goals.
Recent Form Analysis
RB Leipzig Last 5 Matches
W – Hamburg 1-2 RB Leipzig (Away, 1 March 2026)
D – RB Leipzig 2-2 Borussia Dortmund (Home, 21 February 2026)
D – RB Leipzig 2-2 Wolfsburg (Home, 15 February 2026)
W – Köln 1-2 RB Leipzig (Away, 8 February 2026)
L – RB Leipzig 1-2 Mainz 05 (Home, 31 January 2026)
Leipzig’s form has been somewhat inconsistent, with two draws and a defeat in their last three home matches. While they’ve shown attacking potency (scoring in all five games), defensive vulnerabilities have cost them points. The ability to grind out results away from home against Hamburg and Köln shows character, but Werner will want to see improvement at the Red Bull Arena.
Augsburg Last 5 Matches
W – Augsburg 2-0 Köln (Home, 27 February 2026)
W – Wolfsburg 2-3 Augsburg (Away, 21 February 2026)
W – Augsburg 1-0 Heidenheim (Home, 15 February 2026)
L – Mainz 05 2-0 Augsburg (Away, 7 February 2026)
W – Augsburg 2-1 St. Pauli (Home, 31 January 2026)
Augsburg arrive in outstanding form, having won four of their last five Bundesliga matches. The 3-2 victory away at Wolfsburg was particularly impressive, demonstrating their ability to compete against quality opposition. Their only defeat came against a strong Mainz side. This run has been built on solid defensive organisation combined with clinical finishing, making them a dangerous underdog.
Key Tactical Battle
The tactical battle will likely centre on how Augsburg cope with Leipzig’s attacking width. Johan Bakayoko and Antonio Nusa provide pace and creativity on the flanks, while the midfield trio of Schlager, Seiwald and Baumgartner look to control possession.
Augsburg’s 3-4-2-1 formation has served them well recently, with Jeffrey Gouweleeuw organising the back three. The wing-backs will need to track Leipzig’s wide threats while also providing attacking support to Gregoritsch. The midfield battle between Jakić and Schlager could prove decisive in determining who controls the tempo.
Set pieces could be crucial – Leipzig have conceded from dead-ball situations in recent weeks, while Augsburg possess aerial threats in Gregoritsch and the returning defenders.

Expert Predictions & Betting Tips
Primary Bet: Leipzig to Win & Over 2.5 Goals
Given Leipzig’s remarkable H2H record and Augsburg’s recent goal-scoring form, the combination of a home win with over 2.5 goals looks attractive. Leipzig have won 6 of the last 10 meetings, with four of those victories featuring three or more goals. Augsburg have found the net consistently in recent weeks, suggesting they can contribute to the goal count even if they ultimately fall short.
Value Bet: Both Teams to Score
Augsburg have scored in 9 of their last 10 meetings with Leipzig, and with their current attacking confidence, backing BTTS at 4/7 offers solid value. Leipzig’s recent defensive lapses (conceding in 5 straight matches) further strengthen this case. BTTS has landed in 6 of the last 10 H2H encounters.
Correct Score Prediction: Leipzig 3-1 Augsburg
With Leipzig’s attacking quality and Augsburg’s ability to find the net, a 3-1 home victory looks a likely outcome. This scoreline would maintain Leipzig’s strong H2H record while reflecting Augsburg’s competitive recent form. The 3-1 correct score is available at approximately 12/1 with most bookmakers.

Augsburg have won 4 of their last 5 Bundesliga matches
Leipzig have drawn their last 2 home matches
BTTS has landed in 6 of the last 10 H2H encounters

Conclusion
RB Leipzig’s historical dominance over Augsburg makes them clear favourites for this Bundesliga fixture. The head-to-head record is stark – Leipzig have won 6 of the last 10 meetings without suffering a single defeat in that run. However, Augsburg arrive with impressive recent form that suggests they won’t simply roll over.
The smart money appears to be on a Leipzig victory combined with goals at both ends. Augsburg have scored in 9 of the last 10 H2H matches and their current attacking confidence should see them threaten Leipzig’s somewhat porous defence. The over 2.5 goals market also appeals given the goal-filled history of this fixture.
While Augsburg’s 4 wins from 5 matches show they are no pushovers, Leipzig’s quality at the Red Bull Arena and their psychological edge in this fixture should see them through. Expect an entertaining contest with the home side ultimately prevailing by a 2 or 3 goal margin.
