RB Leipzig enters the match as clear favorites, but with a hint of instability. They are in 5th place, fighting for European qualification. In recent rounds, the Bulls narrowly defeated Hamburg (2-1) and Cologne, suffered a shock home defeat to Mainz (1-2), and also suffered two high-scoring draws against the Black Bees and Wolves. Their defensive lapses are becoming more and more frequent, giving the visitors hope.
Augsburg have unexpectedly transformed themselves in recent matches and are on a great run. They have won four of their last six rounds, although it's worth noting that Augsburg haven't played any top clubs. This surge has allowed them to climb to 9th place, clearing the relegation zone. The visitors are on a roll and are confident in their abilities.
In their only match this season, Leipzig crushed Augsburg 6-0 away, but the Fuggers are still capable of putting up a fight. Given their visitors' form and the hosts' porous defense, they have every chance of scoring against the favorites.
