Six German Bundesliga games will happen on Saturday night and one of the matches will be between Leipzig and Augsburg. After 4 games, Leipzig has 2 wins and 2 draws, a total of 6 points and 5th place while Augsburg has 1 win, 1 draw and 2 losses, a total of 4 points and 12th place. In this game, I predict Leipzig's win.
Leipzig has been struggling recently because the team has 2 draws and 1 loss. At home, Leipzig couldn't beat Union Berlin but they missed the penalty in the 74th minute. It was followed by the Champions League 1:2 loss to Atletico in Madrid and in the last Bundesliga game, they drew 0:0 on the road against St. Pauli. While scoring once at home, Leipzig has created xG of 2.5 at home, xGA is 1.6 with a difference of +0.9.
Augsburg dominated the last game, as they had a much bigger ball control and better xG rating, but the team lost to Mainz 2:3, and Augsburg's player got a red card. That was at home, while on the road Augsburg has played only once and they lost to Heidenheim 0:4. In that match Augsburg created xG was only 0.7, xGA was 3.1 with a difference -2.4.
RB Leipzig will be without Xaver Schlager, Forzan Assan Ouedraogo and Kevin Kampl, while Eljif Elmas has picked up a knock and is likely to miss a few days. As for the visitors, striker Samuel Essende was sent off last time out and is suspended, while Robert Gumny and Daniel Klein are expected to be out with injuries for some time. Reece Oxford is sick and is unlikely to feature.
It's not the best time for RB Leipzig and they are having a Champions League game next week. This is a great opportunity to bounce back as they have beaten Augsburg at home in the last 5 games.
周六晚上将有六场德甲比赛,其中一场是莱比锡和奥格斯堡之间的比赛。4场比赛结束后,莱比锡2胜2平,积6分,排名第5;奥格斯堡1胜1平2负,积4分,排名第12。在这场比赛中,我预测莱比锡会赢。
莱比锡最近一直在挣扎,因为球队2平1负。在主场,莱比锡未能击败柏林联盟,但他们在第74分钟错失了点球。随后,他们在马德里以1:2输给了马竞,在最后一场德甲比赛中,他们在客场0比0战平了圣保利。虽然在主场只进1球,但莱比锡在主场创造的xG为2.5,xGA为1.6,两者相差0.9。
奥格斯堡在上一场比赛中占据了统治地位,因为他们有更大的控球能力和更好的xG值,但球队以2:3输给了美因茨,奥格斯堡的球员得到了一张红牌。那是在主场,而在客场,奥格斯堡只打过一次,他们0:4输给了海登海姆。在那场比赛中,奥格斯堡创造的xG只有0.7,xGA是3.1,差了-2.4。
莱比锡将失去施拉格、哈桑、韦德拉奥戈和凯文·坎普尔,而埃尔吉夫·埃尔马斯也受伤了,可能会缺阵几天。至于客队,前锋埃森德在上一场比赛中被红牌罚下并停赛,而冈尼和克莱因预计将缺阵一段时间。里斯·牛津病了,不太可能成为主角。
现在对莱比锡来说不是最好的时机,他们下周还有一场欧冠比赛。这是一个很好的反弹机会,因为他们在过去的5场比赛中主场击败了奥格斯堡。
