RB Leipzig vs Augsburg prediction 07.11.2026 | Bundesliga

RB Leipzig have had a pretty strange Bundesliga campaign thus far.r They are playing great at home and underperforming massively on the road. Still, that home 100 win rate is keeping them in 4th place with 15 points from the opening eight rounds. If we look at their home goal difference of 18:0 and road 4:11, it is pretty obvious there is a massive gap there. However, they are generally playing much better in recent games, and despite losing their last game to Manchester City 3:2, there are definitely signs of consistency. 

Central defender Maxime Esteve recovered from the knock he sustained a couple of games ago and was on the bench for the Manchester City game. He will most likely be ready for the upcoming game, but even if he isn't ready, RB Leipzig have good options at the back. With Esteve back, the team should only miss Marc Guiu and Assan Ouedraogo due to injuries.

Augsburg are playing their 16th consecutive Bundesliga match, where they have mostly been in the lower or middle part of the league table. This season, after a great start and seven points in the opening three games, it seemed they were maybe capable of making a leap. Unfortunately, they haven't been good in recent games, and their only win in almost two months was against Grossapach in the Cup. At the moment, they are in 10th place with nine points from the first eight rounds.

Augsburg are dealing with massive problems at the back. Central defender Juma Bah will serve his second game of a two-game ban, while Noahkai Banks and Calvin Brackelmann are injured. That leaves the coach with limited options, especially since they often play with the three at the back. Besides the three center backs, Steve Mounie will also remain sidelined with his injury.
