RB Leipzig host FC Augsburg at the Red Bull Arena on Saturday, November 7, with kick-off scheduled for 14:30 local time. Leipzig sit fourth in the Bundesliga and are looking for a third consecutive league victory, while tenth-placed Augsburg arrive after a difficult run of results. Both teams have been involved in high-scoring matches recently, making goals a central theme of this Bundesliga preview. Leipzig have the stronger home record, but Augsburg’s scoring figures suggest the visitors can contribute to an open contest.

RB Leipzig’s Recent Form and Key Stats

RB Leipzig return to league action after a 3-2 Champions League defeat against Manchester City on November 4. Across their last five matches, they have recorded three wins and two losses, scoring an average of 2.2 goals per game and conceding 1.6. Their Bundesliga record stands at five wins and three defeats, with no draws, while their league scoring average is 2.8 goals per match.

Home form gives Leipzig a clear reason for confidence: they have won their last nine Bundesliga home matches and scored at least once in their last 17 league fixtures on their own ground. They have also scored in each of their last 20 home matches across competitions. Those runs underline their attacking consistency, even if the recent goals conceded leave Augsburg with some encouragement.

Leipzig’s matches have rarely settled early. At least two goals have been scored in each of their last 13 Bundesliga games, and every one of their last 17 league home matches has featured a goal after half-time. Leipzig have also gone 25 matches across competitions without a draw. In attack, Antonio Nusa, Christopher Nkunku and Romulo are identified in the source material as the club’s leading Bundesliga scorers, with four goals apiece.

There are availability questions ahead of Saturday. Max Finkgräfe has had a thigh problem, while Maxime Esteve is also uncertain. Marc Guiu continues to deal with a thigh injury, and Assan Ouedraogo has not yet returned to fitness. No new injuries were reported from the Manchester City match.

FC Augsburg’s Recent Form and Key Stats

FC Augsburg lost 2-1 to SC Freiburg on October 31 and have won only one of their last five matches, alongside two draws and two defeats. That spell has produced averages of 2.2 goals scored and 2.2 conceded per game. Their Bundesliga season record is two wins, three draws and three losses; across those league matches, they have averaged 2.3 goals scored and 1.9 conceded.

The visitors’ results show why this fixture may be difficult to contain. At least two total goals have been scored in Augsburg’s last 22 matches across competitions and their last 20 Bundesliga games. That pattern extends to all of their last 13 league away fixtures. Augsburg have also conceded at least once in each of their last 17 Bundesliga away matches, a notable concern before facing a Leipzig side with such a long home scoring run.

Goals have regularly arrived late in Augsburg games as well. Their last 11 Bundesliga matches have all featured at least two goals in the second half, while each of their last 14 league away fixtures has produced at least one goal after the interval. They have conceded ground earlier in matches too, losing at half-time in eight of their last 13 Bundesliga away games. Michael Gregoritsch, who has scored five league goals, provides a documented attacking threat for the visitors.

Augsburg will be without Juma Bah as he serves a red-card suspension. Calvin Brackelmann has suffered a head injury and is unlikely to be ready for Saturday, while Noahkai Banks and Sima Suso are also set to miss out. Augsburg did not have a midweek European match, giving them a different lead-in to the fixture from Leipzig.

RB Leipzig vs FC Augsburg Prediction and Match Analysis

Leipzig’s home record and the recent head-to-head results favour the hosts. Across the five meetings covered by the supplied head-to-head summary, RB Leipzig have won three and drawn two, averaging 2.8 goals scored and 0.6 conceded. The latest meeting ended 2-1 to Leipzig on March 7, 2026. Those figures strengthen the case for a home result, but the goal trends on both sides are just as relevant to how Saturday’s match may unfold.

Leipzig’s Bundesliga games average 2.8 goals scored by the hosts and 1.4 conceded, while Augsburg’s league averages stand at 2.3 scored and 1.9 conceded. Augsburg have allowed a goal in 17 straight league away matches, and Leipzig have scored in 17 straight Bundesliga home games. At the other end, Augsburg’s recent scoring average and Leipzig’s concessions over their last five matches leave room for the visitors to make an impact.

There is also a consistent pattern of goals beyond half-time: each of Leipzig’s last 30 Bundesliga matches and Augsburg’s last 13 league games has featured a second-half goal. With both clubs recording extended runs of matches containing at least two total goals, the supplied form points towards a contest with multiple scoring opportunities rather than a quiet afternoon. Leipzig’s nine-match home winning streak gives them the stronger platform, but Augsburg’s goal-heavy results make the total-goals market the more natural focus.
