Match Information
Match Overview
RB Leipzig host FC Augsburg at Red Bull Arena on November 7 in Matchday 9 of the Bundesliga season, a fixture that pits fourth-placed Leipzig against ninth-placed Augsburg as the campaign begins to take shape. With only a handful of points separating many sides at this stage, each result carries weight for those eyeing European places.
The most striking factor is the contrast in recent league momentum. Leipzig arrive on the back of a 2-0 away win at FC Schalke 04 on October 31, following a 4-0 home victory over SV Elversberg on October 24. Those results came after a heavy 6-1 defeat at Bayern München on October 17, suggesting a side that has responded firmly to a setback. Augsburg, by contrast, lost 2-1 at home to SC Freiburg on October 31, drew 1-1 with Union Berlin on October 24 and lost 4-3 at SV Elversberg on October 17. Their league run reads one point from the last three Bundesliga matches before this one, with defensive frailty a recurring theme: they have conceded at least one goal in each of their last five matches in all competitions.
Head-to-head history also points toward Leipzig. Of the last ten meetings, Leipzig have won six, with four draws and no Augsburg victories in that span. The most recent encounter, on March 7, finished 2-1 to Leipzig, while the October 25, 2025 meeting ended 6-0 in Leipzig's favor at Augsburg.
Squad availability looks clean on both sides, with no injuries reported for either team. Leipzig's schedule has been demanding, including a Champions League trip to Real Madrid on October 21 and a DFB Pokal tie at Rot-Weiß Essen on October 27, but both sides also played in the cup that week, so fatigue is not a one-sided issue. Manager M. Demichelis will lead Leipzig against M. Baum's Augsburg, who will look to end an unbeaten-free run against this opponent.

Team Form Analysis
RB Leipzig
League Position: 4RB Leipzig Form Analysis
Leipzig's recent record shows three wins from their last five matches in all competitions, with the trajectory improving after a difficult mid-October. The low point came on October 17, a 6-1 Bundesliga defeat at Bayern München, followed by a 4-1 Champions League loss at Real Madrid on October 21. Both defeats came against elite opposition away from home, which provides context for the heavy scorelines.
The response has been emphatic. A 4-0 home win over SV Elversberg on October 24 was followed by a 2-1 victory at Rot-Weiß Essen in the DFB Pokal on October 27, and a 2-0 win at FC Schalke 04 in the Bundesliga on October 31. Across those three wins Leipzig scored eight goals and conceded three, with two clean sheets in the league fixtures.
Attacking output has been healthy, with 14 goals scored across the five matches, though the defense conceded 11 in the same span, skewed heavily by the Bayern and Real Madrid games. In league play, the two most recent results have both been victories without conceding, a reassuring sign ahead of a home fixture against an Augsburg side that has scored in each of its last five outings.
FC Augsburg
League Position: 9FC Augsburg Form Analysis
Augsburg's league form has been inconsistent, with one win-free stretch in the Bundesliga across their last four matches: a 2-2 home draw with Bayern München on October 10, a 4-3 defeat at SV Elversberg on October 17, a 1-1 home draw with Union Berlin on October 24 and a 1-2 home loss to SC Freiburg on October 31. That adds up to two points from four league games.
The one bright spot came in the DFB Pokal on October 27, where Augsburg won 4-2 away at SG Sonnenhof Grossaspach to progress in the Round of 32. Even there, they conceded twice against lower-division opposition.
Offensively the team has been productive, scoring in all five of their recent matches and netting 13 goals in total, including two against Bayern München. The concern is at the other end: they have conceded 12 goals across the five games and have not kept a clean sheet in that run. Their league opponents have been mixed in quality, but the pattern of conceding in every match is the key challenge facing the back three and goalkeeper Dahmen heading to Leipzig.

Memorable Matches
The head-to-head record leans heavily toward Leipzig, but several meetings stand out. On October 25, 2025, Leipzig won 6-0 away at Augsburg, the largest margin in the recent series. On September 28, 2024, Leipzig again scored four without reply at home, winning 4-0, and on May 8, 2022 they produced another 4-0 home victory.
Augsburg have pushed Leipzig harder at times. A 3-3 draw in Augsburg on October 22, 2022 produced six goals, while the 2-2 draw on February 10, 2024 and the 0-0 stalemate on February 14, 2025 showed Augsburg can frustrate Leipzig on their own turf. The most recent meeting, a 2-1 Leipzig win on March 7, 2026, was a closer contest than some of the heavier results, a reminder that this fixture is not always one-sided.
