Team News

RBL
Augsburg
  • Amadou Haidara is ruled out with a muscle injury, while El Chadaille Bitshiabu will be out for several months with a knee injury. Dani Olmo and Willi Orban are both ruled out with knee problems. Goalkeeper Péter Gulácsi is back in training after an ACL injury.
  • Defender Patric Pfeiffer is available after suspension. Raphael Framberger is ruled out for several months after suffering an ACL injury, while Reece Oxford has long COVID. Jeffrey Gouweleeuw is on his way back from a foot operation, while Masaya Okugawa has a ligament tear. Sven Michel has problems with his adductors.

Prediction

  • Leipzig did lose on the opening weekend to leaders Leverkusen, but apart from that have been faultless.
  • Winless Augsburg have won just once in their last 15 games and often struggle towards the bottom, but have never been relegated.
  • Leipzig have won five straight at home, while Augsburg have not won on their travels in 14 games.
  • Leipzig are worthy favourites, but last season their two meetings ended 3-2 and 3-3 so goals should be expected at both ends.
