For Bundesliga club RB Leipzig, caution is the order of the day in their match against FC Augsburg on Saturday (3.30pm/Sky). The Bavarian Swabians are looking for revenge after the 6-0 defeat in the first half of the season. And they come to the trade fair city with a broad chest. Only one of the last eight games under former RB employee Manuel Baum has been lost. If Leipzig want to remain in contention for a Champions League place, they cannot afford to give away any points.
The Fuggerstadt club are a kind of favorite opponent for the Saxons. They have not lost to FCA in 16 Bundesliga games. "Augsburg are very good and very effective, they don't need many chances. It's a team that also switches gears very well and has good processes when in possession. They will certainly stand a little deeper at times, and so it will also be a matter of finding offensive solutions, becoming goal-scoring, but also securing well - we have prepared for that," said RB coach Ole Werner.
