Tip Augsburg - Leipzig
Prediction published on December 20, 2020 at 1:15 PM - Modified on December 20, 2020 at 2:15 PM
The second round of the German Cup takes place this week with Bundesliga clubs Augsburg and RB Leipzig going head to head at the WWK Arena on Tuesday night. The hosts are tenth in the German top flight with 16 points from 13 games. The visitors, meanwhile, are challenging for the title; they're currently in third place with 28 points from 13 games, leaving them two points behind leaders Bayern. Leipzig played out a disappointing goalless draw at home to Cologne on Saturday. While it is viewed as two points dropped for Leipzig, it extended their unbeaten run to seven games in all competitions. Away from home, their form has been shakier with only two wins from their last seven matches on the road in all competitions. Leipzig were dumped out of last year's competition when they went to Eintracht Frankfurt and lost 3-1.
Augsburg come into this game licking their wounds from a 2-0 home defeat against Frankfurt over the weekend. The loss means that Augsburg have now failed to win nine of their last 11 matches in all competitions. At home, they are winless in four games. Scoring goals is a problem for Augsburg with only four Bundesliga teams scoring fewer than their tally of 15. This poor attacking record may prove costly against a Leipzig with the best defensive record in the top flight. Leipzig have won their last four matches against Augsburg in all competitions. Back against both teams scoring.
Key points Augsburg - Leipzig
Leipzig have won their last four matches against Ausburg.
Leipzig have the best defensive record in the Bundesliga.
Augsburg have failed to win their last four home games.
Conclusion Augsburg - Leipzig
Leipzig have managed to keep clean sheets in four of their last seven matches against Augsburg. We can see them succeeding in that feat again this week. However, their attacking issues stop us from pushing them outright. Back against both teams scoring.
