RB Leipzig Team News
RB Leipzig started the season with a triumph in the Super Cup against Bayern Munich, winning 3:0 with a fantastic hat-trick from Dani Olmo. After three rounds of the Bundesliga, Leipzig is currently in fourth place on the table with six points, three points behind the leaders Bayer Leverkusen.
In the first round, Leipzig was defeated by the current league leader, Bayer, in a fascinating match with a score of 3:2. Following that, they demolished Stuttgart 5-1 in the next round, and in the third league match, they secured a crucial victory with a 3:0 win against Union Berlin in an away game.
Xavi Simons has integrated brilliantly into Coach Rose’s game, and there is no doubt that he will be a significant addition to Leipzig this season. The potential issue for the hosts in this match could be the absence of their star player, Dani Olmo, who got injured during his national team duties with Spain. Nevertheless, everyone at the club secretly hopes that the young midfielder will be ready for the duel against Augsburg.

Augsburg Team News
Augsburg had a tough time securing their Bundesliga survival last season, especially considering they only collected four points in the previous five matches and suffered defeats in the final three rounds. Nevertheless, poor results from Stuttgart played a role in Augsburg’s ability to stay in the league, finishing with one point more than their rivals.
Based on their performance in the first three matches of the new season, it’s highly likely that Augsburg will again find themselves in a tough battle to avoid relegation. They suffered two defeats in the initial three rounds and managed one draw. They lost 3:1 to Bayern Munich, drew 4:4 against Borussia Monchengladbach, and played a 2-2 draw with Bochum.
However, if they want to avoid a situation similar to the end of the previous season, Augsburg will need to elevate their level of play and accumulate victories to distance themselves from the dangerous relegation zone. There’s no doubt that they will face a challenging task against Leipzig.
