FC Augsburg is flying high. Can the decimated RB team stop it?

Leipzig (dpa) -

FC Augsburg can set new record

Three wins, two draws - FC Augsburg have been on a five-game winning streak. If the Bavarian Swabians remain undefeated against RB, they would set the record under coach Jess Thorup. He had not lost in his first six games as FCA coach from October to December 2023.

RB's biggest win in the first half of the season

RB Leipzig have fond memories of FC Augsburg. In the first half of the season, the Saxons recorded a clear 4-0 win, their highest success against FCA. What's more, RB have not won any other game so far this season by such a clear margin.

Only one Augsburg win in the Bundesliga so far

In 17 games in Germany's top flight, RB have conceded just one defeat against Augsburg. On September 19, 2017, the Saxons were beaten 1-0 at home thanks to a goal from Michael Gregoritsch.

Fond memories of referee Stegemann

Leipzig's match in Augsburg will be refereed by Sascha Stegemann. The Saxons do not have the best memories of the referee. On 15 January, Stegemann sent strikers Benjamin Šeško and Loïs Openda to the dressing room early with yellow and red in the 2-1 defeat in Stuttgart.

Goals mostly guaranteed

When FC Augsburg and RB Leipzig face each other in the Bundesliga, there are usually a few goals scored - 53 to be precise. Only in the 2018/2019 season did both matches end goalless. RB scored much more often. The goal difference after 17 games is 38:15 for RB.
