Prediction FC Augsburg vs RB Leipzig 2025/2026 – Betting Tips for the Bundesliga on 25/10/2025

Match context and how the teams arrive

A late October afternoon at the WWK Arena sets the scene for FC Augsburg hosting RB Leipzig in Round 8 of the Bundesliga. The Bavarian side sit 13th after seven games, an inconsistent run that has yielded two wins, a solitary draw and four defeats. Augsburg have shown they can find the net — 12 goals so far — but their defensive ledger is uncomfortable, 14 conceded and not a single clean sheet to their name this season. Recent results read like a rollercoaster: a morale-boosting 3-1 victory over Wolfsburg was followed by a 1-1 draw at FC Köln, but that form has been punctuated by defeats to Heidenheim, Mainz and St. Pauli.

RB Leipzig, by contrast, arrive as one of the division’s form teams. Second in the table with 16 points from seven games, Leipzig have produced a string of positive results: wins against Mainz, Wolfsburg and most recently Hamburger SV, plus draws against Dortmund. Their away numbers on paper are mixed — just three away goals so far and seven conceded — but the bigger picture shows a side comfortable in possession of matches and capable of grinding out results. Leipzig’s form summary reveals a side heavy on victories, with six wins in the latest sequence and only a couple of setbacks.

Tactical outlook and decisive factors

This will be a contrast of styles and priorities. Augsburg’s underlying numbers show a team that creates a solid volume of attempts — over 11 shots per game and a high proportion of matches producing more than two goals — but their defensive vulnerabilities remain the headline issue. RB Leipzig bring superior shot volume overall with 111 attempts across matches and a stronger shots-on-target figure, illustrating offensive punch and the ability to convert pressure into chances. Leipzig’s statistic of three clean sheets shows they can shut games down when required, and their recent win over Hamburger SV with Christoph Baumgartner earning best player plaudits underlines their match-winner potential.

Referee Daniel Siebert will oversee the game, and the crowd at the WWK Arena (capacity 30,660) can be expected to rile both sides. Augsburg’s home record suggests openness and entertainment; Leipzig’s consistency and league position point to control and resilience.

Betting suggestion

Given the data available — Leipzig’s superior form, higher table position and recent string of victories contrasted with Augsburg’s defensive fragility and mixed results — the strongest single-market suggestion is a 1X2 back on RB Leipzig (Away). The bookmaker price of 1.98 and the implied probability just over 50% align with Leipzig’s momentum and the likelihood they can take three points on the road.
