REF’s picks

RB Leipzig hold a strong historical edge over Augsburg and boast the attacking firepower to control this home fixture from the outset. Expect Die Roten Bullen to capitalize on Augsburg's defensive absentees and secure a comfortable three points.

1. 1Leipzig's fluid attack featuring Nusa and Rômulo is hard for mid-table sides to contain at home.
2. 2Augsburg struggle on their travels and arrive missing several key defensive options.
3. 3Leipzig's midweek European exertions could lead to a slow start or late fatigue.
