Augsburg will entertain RB Leipzig at the WWK Arena in the Bundesliga on Saturday. The visitors have won five of the seven league games and are second in the league table with 16 points. Fuggerstädter have two wins and are 13th in the standings with seven points.
The hosts are unbeaten in their last two games and were held to a 1-1 draw by Koln in their previous outing. Fabian Rieder gave them the lead in the 54th minute from the penalty spot, and Said El Mala pulled Koln level in the 76th minute.
Die Roten Bullen have enjoyed a good run of form, and they are unbeaten in their last six games in all competitions. They met Hamburger in their previous outing and recorded a 2-1 home win. Christoph Baumgartner bagged a brace in that win.

Augsburg vs RB Leipzig Prediction
Fuggerstädter have seen an upturn in form, and after four consecutive losses between August and September, they are unbeaten in their two games this month. They are winless in their last nine home meetings against the visitors, which is a cause for concern.
There are no confirmed absentees for the hosts, while Jeffrey Gouweleeuw and Elvis Rexhbecaj face late fitness tests.
Die Roten Bullen resumed their league campaign after the international break with a win last week and will look to build on that form. They are unbeaten in the league since the campaign opener, and they have scored at least once in each game since.
Kosta Nedeljkovic and Benjamin Henrichs will miss this match due to injuries, while Timo Werner is a major doubt.
The visitors have a good recent record in this fixture and, considering their six-game unbeaten run, we back them to eke out a narrow win.
