RB Leipzig v Augsburg Team News

The reverse fixture back in September ended, surprisingly to many, in defeat for Leipzig 0-1 but the last three mutual meetings have seen each side win, lose and draw in what is a quite balanced rivalry.

That Augsburg victory this season followed on from a 2-2 stalemate and a 2-1 home success for the team that finished runners-up in the 2016-17 Bundesliga campaign.

As a matter of fact, things have been fairly good for Augsburg on the road though, having won and drawn three each, as well as suffering four disappointments (W3 D3 L4) during the ongoing season in Germany.

Nevertheless, it's different if we look at how Manuel Baum's side have fared there against the so-called giants, who are Bayern Munich, Schalke and Borussia Monchengladbach. Can they reverse that trend this time around?

Teams' Potential Starting Lineups:

RB Leipzig (4-3-3): Gulacsi; Klostermann, Upamecano, Orban, Laimer; Keita, Demme, Kampl; Bruma, Werner, Sabitzer.

Augsburg (4-2-3-1): Hitz; Max, Hinteregger, Danso, Framberger; Baier, Khedira; Caiuby, Moravek, Koo; Gregoritsch.
