RB Leipzig vs Augsburg
LEIPZIG, Germany (Interstat) — RB Leipzig will look to maintain its recent dominance over Augsburg when the sides meet in a Bundesliga match Saturday at Red Bull Arena.
The fixture comes just over four months after Leipzig dismantled Augsburg 6-0 on Oct. 25, 2025, in one of the most lopsided results of the head-to-head series. Interstat’s game simulator projects a 2-1 victory for the hosts in this encounter.
Leipzig enters the match following a 2-1 win over Hamburger SV II on March 1. Marco Rose’s team has shown attacking potency mixed with inconsistency in recent league play, including a 2-2 draw with Borussia Dortmund and a 3-1 loss to Bochum, both on Feb. 21. Their home form has been strong in Bundesliga action, however.
Augsburg arrives with momentum from a 2-0 victory over 1. FC Koln on Feb. 27, but followed that with a surprising 2-0 defeat to lower-tier side Kirchanschöring in a cup match on Feb. 28. That result underscored a volatile pattern for the Fuggerstädter, whose recent results include a stunning 2-1 win at Bayern Munich on Jan. 24 but also a loss to another reserve side, Mainz 05 II, on Feb. 7.
Historically, Leipzig has held the upper hand in this matchup and will be heavily favored at home. Augsburg’s defense, which conceded six in the last meeting, will face a stern test against Leipzig’s dynamic attack. Augsburg’s hope may lie in replicating the resilient form shown in wins over Koln and Bayern, rather than the fragility displayed against lower-division opponents.
The match is a crucial Bundesliga clash for both sides as they navigate the final months of the season. For Leipzig, it’s a chance to solidify a top-four push. For Augsburg, it represents an opportunity for redemption and to prove their recent cup upset was an aberration.
Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. local time (1430 GMT) on Saturday, March 7, 2026.
