Preview

RB Leipzig will be looking to bounce back from their consecutive defeats as they take on Augsburg at home on Sunday. Leipzig are coming into this match on the back of 1-2 and 1-3 losses against Union Berlin and Borussia Monchengladbach respectively. With just two more games to go in the season and a Champions League spot at stake, it becomes important for Leipzig to win this encounter. Augsburg, on the other hand, are sitting far down in the 14th place. Their recent form hasnt been good either as they have lost three out of their last five games.
