Augsburg vs Leipzig Prediction & Betting Tips - Bundesliga

Prediction published on 10/02/2024, 01:13  by Sridhar in Bundesliga Predictions

Augsburg will be keen to come up trumps against their old nemesis Leipzig to avoid slumping towards the Bundesliga relegation zone. This matchday 21 will be played at the WWK Arena in Bavaria on Saturday. Ahead of this round, the hosts are 12th with 22 points while the visitors are 5th with 36 points. Augsburg are seven points above the bottom-three teams, but will have to improve their consistency to avoid sliding down. They have lost three and drawn one of their last five league games, winning just once. In fact, going further back, they have lost four and drawn two of their last seven Bundesliga matches. The worries are profound even at home, as Augsburg have lost their last two home league games.

Leipzig are just a point behind top-four but need to be careful of losing ground in that race. They are coming off a 2-0 win over Union Berlin that helped halt a three-game losing run in the league. What has worked for them in this season is their scoring record having netted 44 goals so far, which is the fourth-best record in Bundesliga this campaign. They would be keen to improve their away record which has lost some steam in their recent travels. Leipzig have lost three and drawn one of their last five away league games, winning just once. That win came against Borussia Dortmund though, which should give them confidence of winning this trip.
