RB LEIPZIG v AUGSBURG
Friday 9th February 2018 – Kickoff: 2030hrs
Football – Germany – Bundesliga Betting Tips
RB Leipzig come into this Friday night encounter with Augsburg sitting in third place in the German Bundesliga as they look to promote themselves as the best of the others in the German top flight with Bayern Munich holding a commanding 18 point lead at the top.
Leipzig registered a valuable three points in last weekend’s 1-0 win away at Borussia Moenchengladbach to stay in the hunt for a Champions League berth next season, but they’ll need to continue their solid form at their Red Bull Arena on Frida night if they’re to stave off the chasing pack who are hot on their heels.
The hosts possess a solid home record which stands at 6-3-1 21/12 and their one defeat so far at home came in a surprising 3-2 loss to Hertha Berlin. However, a recent 3-1 win over fifth placed Schalke should still give them belief of getting a result here tonight.
Onto Augsburg, and they occupy seventh place on the Bundesliga league ladder but are just two points adrift of sixth placed Eintracht Frankfurt, who hold the last Europa League qualifying spot.
The visitors have lost just once in their last five league matches overall, which was a 2-0 defeat at Borussia Moenchengladbach, but recent wins over Hamburg and Eintrach Frankfurt have maintained their european interests.
However, these recent wins were both recorded at their WWK Arena where they’ve lost just twice all season to date, but it’s been their indifferent form away from home which has held them back so far in this campaign.
An away record of 3-3-4 13/14 includes just one win in their last five trips, along with three defeats at Bayern Munich, Schalke and ‘gladbach.
