German Bundesliga
2026-03-08 - RB Leipzig vs Augsburg
A Sports Betting Pick by Niko
Football; Germany: Bundesliga
Red Bull Arena – Leipzig
Saturday, 08th March 2026 - kickoff 15:30 CET
RB Leipzig
RB Leipzig are rarely involved in dull games. They have scored at least twice in their last four Bundesliga matches, and over 2.5 goals have landed in their previous five.
The attack is doing its job, but the issue has been game control. An amazing fact is that RB Leipzig have dropped points from winning positions in 7 matches so far this season. However, perhaps they have learned their lesson, as last week they managed a comeback for the first time this season, beating Hamburger SV 1-2 away.
One concern is their home form. RB Leipzig are winless in four straight at the Red Bull Arena, with two draws and two defeats. That’s not ideal for a team chasing Champions League spots, but the comeback win away in Hamburg last week might give them a bit of momentum.
Augsburg
Augsburg are one of the in-form teams in the Bundesliga right now. Five wins from their last six matches and only one defeat in eight games shows how much confidence they are playing with.
The 2-0 win over Köln last week was Augsburg’s third in a row, and they now look calm, organised, and hard to break down. Climbing in the upper half of the Bundesliga table certainly makes them very comfortable.
Augsburg travels here with nothing to lose, and that usually makes them dangerous. Right now, they are playing with belief.
The Betting Verdict
Here’s another impressive fact – RB Leipzig is unbeaten in 16 straight duels against Augsburg, winning 10 times and drawing six! Their first duel this season ended in an incredible 0-6 away win for RB Leipzig.
My thinking here is simple – RB Leipzig at home should finally stop their poor run of four winless matches. I expect goals because both sides are in good attacking rhythm, but I lean towards an RB Leipzig win in an open game.
Take a combination bet of RB Leipzig to win and over 2.5 goals for better odds.
The Pick :
RB Leipzig 2-1 Augsburg
