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

RB Leipzig host FC Augsburg at the Red Bull Arena on Saturday, 7 November 2026 (15:30 CET) in a Bundesliga Round 9 clash, and the hosts arrive as clear favourites with the bookmakers. European odds price a Leipzig home win at around 1.45, the draw at 4.75 and an Augsburg away win at 6.50, reflecting Leipzig's superb record in this fixture — they are unbeaten in their last 19 meetings with Augsburg (13 wins, 6 draws). Leipzig bounced back from the 6-1 humbling at Bayern Munich with a commanding 4-0 home win over Elversberg and a professional 0-2 away victory at Schalke, keeping them firmly in the top half of the 2026/27 table.

Augsburg, meanwhile, travel to Saxony with a lengthy injury list and inconsistent form. Jess Thorup's side fell to a 1-2 home defeat to Freiburg last time out and could only manage a draw against Union Berlin, though they did edge past Sonnenhof Großaspach 2-4 in the DFB-Pokal. The visitors will be without suspended defender Juma Bah as well as injured trio Steve Mounié, Calvin Brackelmann and Tim Breithaupt, further weakening a defence that has already leaked goals this season.

RB Leipzig's 2026/27 squad under head coach Martín Demichelis blends exciting new signings with proven quality. Summer arrivals Christopher Nkunku (on loan from Milan), Marc Guiu (from Chelsea), Maxime Estève (from Burnley) and Neil El Aynaoui (on loan from Roma) have joined a core featuring Antonio Nusa — the Bundesliga's leading creator of big chances — Tidiam Gomis, Rômulo, captain David Raum, Willi Orbán and Castello Lukeba. Leipzig will be without Estève, Guiu and Assan Ouédraogo through injury, but with Nkunku and Nusa in devastating form, their attack remains one of the league's most productive.

With Leipzig's firepower at home, Augsburg's defensive absences and the historical dominance of the hosts, everything points to a comfortable home victory. Over 2.5 goals have landed in each of Leipzig's recent home matches and in Augsburg's away fixtures, so expect an open, entertaining contest at the Red Bull Arena. Our prediction: RB Leipzig 3 : 1 Augsb
