RB Leipzig vs Augsburg Prediction & Betting Tips (7 March)

Leipzig is experiencing an unusual situation this year. Indeed, this team did not play in any European competition, a first since its accession to the elite at the end of the 2010s. Logically, RasenBall Sport intends to remedy this situation from next year and why not by qualifying for the Champions League. The Saxons are still in the running to achieve this since they are in 5th position in this Bundesliga with only 2 points behind the top 4. After being able to win against Cologne 1-2, the Red Bulls conceded 2 draws against Wolfsburg 2-2 and against Dortmund 2-2 but they were able to revive by dominating Hamburg 1-2 last Sunday.

 Augsburg, for its part, is on the verge of validating its priority objective for the season: securing its continuation. This team probably did not think it would achieve it so quickly, especially after a rather disappointing first part of the exercise. But since the arrival at the helm of new coach Manuel Baum, the Bavarians have raised their heads and they even remain on a very good series of 3 victories in a row won against Heidenheim 1-0, Wolfsburg 2-3 and finally Cologne 2-0 last weekend. Thanks to these successes, the Augsburg players moved up to 9th place in the rankings, just 3 points from 7th place which could qualify for Europe.

In Leipzig, the long-term injured Gebel, the important Ouedraogo, replacement defender Nedeljkovic and winter recruit Sani will once again have to miss this game. The Gulacsi goalkeeper and the midfielder Schlager executive are also convalescing at the moment. On the other hand, the formidable Austrian midfielder Baumgarnter (10 goals, 6 assists) is available and he is the real offensive leader of this team this season. The young Ivorian winger Diomandé (9 goals, 5 assists) and Brazilian striker Romulo (7 goals, 4 assists) were the main players in the victory against Hamburg, both being decisive. The central defender Dutch Gouweleeuw (captain) will not be able to put on the crampons today.

His tricolor counterpart Matsima (ex-Monaco) should experience the same fate while midfielder Jakic is uncertain after being out injured last week. Otherwise, the entire Bavarian group should be fit for this poster s on the scoresheet on Switzerland Rieder (ex-Rennes, 3 goals), French midfielder Massengo (2 goals) should be able to hold their place. It will certainly be the same for the former Lorient player Claude-Maurice (4 goals, 4 assists) who took control of the scorers rankings for this team last week. Arriving on loan this winter, Austrian striker Gregoritsch has made 3 goals under his new colors. The probable line-ups for RB Leipzig - Augsburg:
