RB Leipzig vs FC Augsburg Prediction - Nov 7, 2026

RB Leipzig vs FC Augsburg prediction and betting preview

The RB Leipzig vs FC Augsburg prediction points towards goals when the teams meet at the Red Bull Arena on Saturday, November 7, 2026. Kick-off is scheduled for 14:30 GMT, or 15:30 CET, with Leipzig expected to control this Bundesliga Matchday 9 fixture.

Leipzig enter the weekend fourth with 15 points and a perfect home league record. Martín Demichelis’ team have won all four Bundesliga games at the Red Bull Arena, scoring 18 times without conceding. Their latest domestic result, a 2-0 away victory over Schalke, continued that impressive defensive run.

There is one complication. Leipzig face Manchester City in the Champions League on Wednesday, leaving little time for detailed preparation. Demichelis may rotate tired legs, although his preferred approach should remain clear: aggressive pressing, quick attacking transitions and strong control after losing possession. It is a style with echoes of the high-energy football associated with Leipzig’s earlier years.

Augsburg arrive in tenth place with nine points and fewer reasons for optimism. Manuel Baum’s side are winless in six league matches and have repeatedly failed to protect promising positions. They scored first against Freiburg but lost 2-1, while 12 goals conceded across their last five competitive games underline the defensive problem.

Team news and tactical picture

Leipzig are without Assan Ouédraogo, Marc Guiu, Max Finkgräfe, Samba Konaté and Benno Kaltefleiter. Maxime Estève has returned to training, while Christoph Baumgartner is fully fit and could play an important role.

• Augsburg will miss Noahkai Banks, Robin Hranáč and Faik Sakar through injury.
• Centre-back Juma Bah is suspended, weakening an already vulnerable defence.
• Augsburg have had a full week to prepare, which may help them target Leipzig’s possible fatigue.

Baum and the club have also supported Bah after the defender received serious online abuse and threats. Away from the pitch, the stadium will host its annual clothing donation campaign, organised to help people in need before winter.
