RB Leipzig vs Augsburg prediction, H2H and probable lineups — March 7, 2026
As part of Matchday 25 in the German Bundesliga, RB Leipzig will take on Augsburg. The encounter is set for Saturday, March 7, with kick-off scheduled for 15:30 Central European Time. I’m offering a bet on the winner of this clash.
Match preview
RB Leipzig are confidently positioned in the upper part of the Bundesliga table, fighting for European spots and currently sitting fifth after 24 rounds.
This stability highlights the team’s progress this season, with the Red Bulls showcasing an efficient attacking game, averaging two goals per match—helping them consistently pick up points against direct rivals.
In their last outing, Leipzig pulled off a comeback win over Hamburg, boosting morale and helping them maintain their lead over the chasing pack in the race for a Champions League place. Werner’s men are four points ahead of Bayer and just two behind Hoffenheim and Stuttgart.
Even in tough matches, the team continues to show character, controlling the tempo and demonstrating attacking flexibility. Still, they remain favorites in most fixtures—especially at home, where they traditionally dominate.
Augsburg have faced some challenges this Bundesliga season and sit mid-table in ninth place, with a negative goal difference and a modest points tally.
Offensively, Augsburg have shown limited firepower with just 30 goals scored, while defensive errors have been a recurring issue. However, recent results break this trend, as Baum’s side have picked up nine points from their last three matches, hitting a good run of form.
This could help them create danger against Leipzig, with the visitors likely to rely on counterattacks and try to capitalize on any mistakes. Still, the away stats tell a different story: Augsburg have conceded in every single away Bundesliga match this season.
This underlines the difference in class between the sides—especially when Leipzig play at home, where they regularly dominate possession and create plenty of chances, while Augsburg have struggled on the road. Picking up points in this match will be tough, though their current form offers some hope.

Prediction
