RB Leipzig vs FC Augsburg Match Preview

Last Tuesday, RB Leipzig managed to get a crazy draw at Dortmund's Signal-Iduna-Park with a final score of 3-3. Having a bad start in the first half, Dortmund found the back of the net twice (2-0) and they could have easily scored even more goals. In the second half, however, RB Leipzig took advantage of the mistakes by the home side and equalized twice 2-2 and then 3-3. They are now placed alongside with Gladbach at the top of the table with 34 points, with a 4 points difference from 3rd-placed Bayern Munich. P. Schick continues his great form in their attacking line, having scored a lot of goals in recent weeks, so Y. Poulsen is reasonably staying on the bench as a substitute. We will probably see a small rotation by J. Nagelsmann since the games are continuous and the team need fresh legs.

One of the hottest teams in Bundesliga at this time is definitely Augsburg right now, having 3 consecutive wins, which has not been seen for at least two years. In their previous game, they dominated over Fortuna Dusseldorf 3-0 and now are sitting in the middle of the table, staying undefeated in the last six games (5-1-0). Special mention should be made about the defensive performance of M. Schmidt,'s side, actually, they have conceded just 7 goals in their last 8 Bundesliga games. Midfielder R. Khedira is suspended, while defender S. Lichtsteiner remains doubtful. R. Framberger and A. Finnbogason are unavailable for tonight's game.

I am looking forward on tonight's game at the Red Bull Arena in Leipzig between two spectacular teams that find the back of the net easily. Augsburg is at their best form, and given Leipzig's fatigue after their consecutive games at domestic and European competitions, I do not exclude the possibility of having a Christmas bomb here! The away win is offered at massive odds, 11.00 is too high to be ignored.
