Red Bull Leipzig have made a tremendous start to the season, as the newly promoted team still stands undefeated after 5 matches in the Bundesliga so far. They took a valuable draw on the road against Koln, and they will now be hosting Augsburg who recorded their first home win of the season, but they are not very convincing so far.
Augsburg (2-2-1) might have recorded their first home win of the season when they overcame Darmstadt with 0-1, but they struggled a lot in order to do so. Augsburg were without doubt the better team in that match, but they really struggled to create scoring chances, let alone convert them. However, striker Finnbogason gave Augsburg the lead as he managed to dismantle their opponents’ defenses at the 47th minute. There were no other exciting moments in the match, and Augsburg managed to celebrate their first home win of the season. However, they have been mediocre at best so far in the season, but still their course can be considered as decent. They have been very solid on the road so far, as they are still undefeated after two matches, a draw and a win. They do have a solid history in their match-up against Red Bull Leipzig, as they have won both matches so far, both for the German Cup and both on the road (back in 2013 and 2011).

On the other hand, Red Bull Leipzig (2-0-3) have been amazing so far in the season, while they extended their undefeated run in the 1-1 draw against Koln on the road. The match started off in the right foot, as Red Bull Leipzig took the lead at just thr 5th minute after a goal from Burke. Their celebrations didn’t last for long though, as their opponents were quick in their respons, when they equalized just 20 minutes later with Osako. The match was somewhat boring after the equalizer, as neither team looked to eager to risk the draw. Both teams created some scoring chances, but they failed to deliver, so they settled for the 1-1 draw. Coach Hasenhuttl was very excited with his team’s performance, as not only did they manage to detain the opposing forwards, but they also extended the team’s undefeated run to 5 matches. Red Bull Leipzig haven’t yet lost at home this season, where they have actually defeated Dortmund with 0-1, while they have also played for a 1-1 draw against Gladbach. Greek defender Kyriakos Papadopoulos who is on loan from Leverkusen is questionable to participate, while Klostermann will be unavailable.
