Augsburg v RB Leipzig

Augsburg vs RB Leipzig Preview

Augsburg bring a five-game unbeaten sequence inti this upcoming Friday night clash in the German Bundesliga on Friday night which consists of three wins and two draws and having played their last two games away from home, Augsburg will be looking forward to returning to their WWK Arena for this encounter.

RB Leipzig have also put together an unbeaten run in the German top flight spanning four games overall, and having registered a solid 2-0 home win against St Pauli in last weekend's Bundesliga action, the visitors will also feel confident about their chances at the WWK Arena on Friday night as well.

Augsburg had picked up a couple of useful points on the road in their last two away games in the Bundesliga with draws at St Pauli and Mainz while beforehand, Augsburg had also strung together an impressive three-match winning streak which consisted of picking up important wins against the likes of Union Berlin, Werder Bremen and Heidenheim respectively.

The bigger picture shows Augsburg have suffered just four defeats in their last 14 matches in the domestic top flight, three of which were dealt out to Jess Thorup's side on their travels, while being dealt just two losses in their previous seven games on home soil at their WWK Arena and picking up four wins in the process.

RB Leipzig have gained recent points in draws with Bochum, Bayer Leverkusen and Union Berlin along with grabbing all three points by way of a 2-0 home win against St Pauli, so the visitors may just fancy their chances of getting something out of this upcoming trip to face Augsburg on Friday night.

However, league wins have been hard to come by for the visitors as RB Leipzig have managed to collect just four wins from their previous 13 matches overall in the Bundesliga along with being dealt five defeats in the process as well.

Three out of RB Leipzig's four aforementioned wins have been achieved on home soil at their Red Bull Arena with wins against Eintracht Frankfurt, Werder Bremen and St Pauli but results away from home in recent weeks have left a lot to be desired by Marco Rose's side.

After producing a four-match unbeaten start away from home in this season's campaign which included picking up three wins, RB Leipzig have managed to pick up just one further win from their subsequent seven outings on the road whilst also slipping to four defeats within this period as well.

Defeats on the road at Borussia Dortmund, Hoffenheim, Bayern Munich and Stuttgart respectively do not appear to bode well for RB Leipzig on Friday night.
