Augsburg vs RB Leipzig Prediction and Betting Tips | 22nd October 2022

Augsburg are set to play RB Leipzig at the WWK Arena on Saturday in the Bundesliga.

Augsburg come into this game on the back of a 5-2 loss to Julian Nagelsmann's Bayern Munich in the second round of the DFB-Pokal. A brace from Cameroonian striker Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, as well as goals from midfielders Joshua Kimmich and Jamal Musiala and Canadian left-back Alphonso Davies, sealed the deal for Bayern Munich.

A goal from Danish left-back Mads Valentin Pedersen and an own goal from French centre-back Dayot Upamecano proved to be a mere consolation for Augsburg.

RB Leipzig, on the other hand, beat Tim Walter's Hamburg 4-0 in the second round of the DFB-Pokal. A brace from Danish striker Yussuf Poulsen, along with goals from French centre-back Mohamed Simakan and midfielder Benjamin Henrichs, secured the win for Marco Rose's RB Leipzig.

Augsburg vs RB Leipzig Prediction

Augsburg are currently 12th in the league, five points behind 16th-placed Bayer Leverkusen. They have won three league games from their last five, although they have failed to win their last two games. Manager Enrico Maassen has his job cut out, although RB Leipzig will not be an easy opposition.

RB Leipzig, on the other hand, are currently 10th in the league, two points ahead of Augsburg. They have won three of their last five league games. RB Leipzig did not enjoy the best of starts this season, with their poor performances resulting in the departure of Domenico Tedesco as manager.

Former Red Bull Salzburg and Borussia Dortmund manager Marco Rose took over, and the German has done a good job so far in stabilizing the ship. However, expectations are consistently high at Leipzig, and Rose will hope to fare better and longer than his most recent predecessors in the role, Tedesco and Jesse Marsch.

RB Leipzig should emerge victorious against Augsburg.

Prediction: Augsburg 0-1 RB Leipzig
