Augsburg vs Leipzig Prediction 25 October 2025
🔊 Who will continue to build on their success? Augsburg host Leipzig at the WWK Arena in the seventh round of the championship. Both clubs avoided defeat in their last matches, but Leipzig's run, as well as their overall play, appears far more convincing. Sandro Wagner and his squad will aim for a second home victory, yet the visitors are still considered the favorites: Ole Werner is proving effective in his role as Leipzig's new head coach. Let's delve into an analysis of this Saturday's match in our prediction.

📊 Over the last 20 games, Leipzig have claimed victory 11 times, while Augsburg have won 3. Six matches ended in draws, one of which was last season (0-0) in the second leg. In the first leg at home, Leipzig easily dispatched the "Fuggers" with a 4-0 win.
Head-to-head statistics Augsburg - Leipzig

Augsburg Team Overview
🔴 Augsburg return to the WWK Arena after a 1-1 draw in Cologne. In the first half, the Fuggerstädter posed little threat to the opponent's goal, but a halftime talk from Sandro Wagner revitalized the team. Just five minutes into the second half, Augsburg earned a penalty thanks to Anton Kade, which Fabian Rieder converted. The visitors then attempted several long-range shots on Cologne's goal but couldn't capitalize further. The equalizer came from a swift counterattack-Augsburg lost possession during a transition phase and were caught out.
⚪ For Sandro Wagner's side, this was their first draw of the season. Augsburg currently sit 13th with seven points. In their last home game, the Fuggerstädter secured their first win by defeating Wolfsburg 3-1, but the challenge posed by Leipzig is on a different level.

Leipzig Team Overview
⚪ Leipzig are on a six-match unbeaten run. In their last outing at the Red Bull Arena, they secured a 2-1 victory over Hamburg, who have been impressive in their debut season. Christoph Baumgartner netted twice, first from an Antonio Nusa cross and then following a quick combination play with Romulo.
🔴 This triumph marked the Red Bulls' fifth win in the league, elevating them to second place, five points behind Bayern and one point ahead of Stuttgart. To keep up the chase for the top spot, Leipzig need victories both at home and on the road. However, winning in Augsburg won't be easy; their last four away matches against the Fuggerstädter have all ended in draws. Nonetheless, the impact of new coach Ole Werner is already evident, and Leipzig head into this encounter as the favorites.

Latest news
Augsburg
🎙 Sandro Wagner on the upcoming match: "Leipzig have a clear game plan and strong individual players. We analyze every opponent and know where we can challenge them. We have ideas on how to cause them problems in defense. Our full focus is on Leipzig and Saturday's match."
🚑 The team remains without captain Jeffrey Gouweleeuw. The defender has partially resumed training but had to scale back due to his knee injury recovery. There is some good news though: midfielder Elvis Rexhbecaj is back in action after overcoming back issues.
Leipzig
🎙 Ole Werner ahead of the away game: "We're pleased with the points we've accumulated and how the team handles tough matches. However, we still need to improve in many areas. The key is to stick to our principles and maintain initiative, even when we're ahead. It's important not just to protect the lead but to keep creating chances, effectively use space, and show dominance. This is the next step in our development."
🚑 A decision on Johan Bakayoko's participation will be made after the final training session on Friday. He has a calf bruise, and his availability is uncertain. Max Finkgrefe is also training with the team but might not recover in time for the match. Costa Nedelkovic (knee stress reaction), Benjamin Henrichs (Achilles tendon injury), and Viggo Goebel (cruciate ligament tear) are all ruled out.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
The match will be officiated by Daniel Siebert. Over his last 10 matches, he averages 4.6 yellow cards. Augsburg are among the league's roughest teams, alongside Bayer, averaging 3.3 yellow cards per game. Leipzig, on the other hand, are one of the most disciplined clubs in the league, with an average of 1.7. Prediction: Augsburg to receive more yellow cards.
⚽ Goal Prediction
In all seven of Augsburg's matches, both teams have scored at least once. Leipzig have kept a clean sheet in three out of seven games. Thus, it makes sense to choose Augsburg's individual total under 1.5 goals, as Leipzig have conceded more than one goal in only one of their last seven matches.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Leipzig are among the league leaders in corners taken, averaging 6.3 per match, sharing the top spot with Borussia Mönchengladbach. Augsburg are lower on the list, with 4.7 corners per game. Recommended bet: total corners over 9.5. This outcome has occurred in nine of Leipzig's last ten away games.
Editorial Prediction
Despite Leipzig's impressive streak, surprises can't be ruled out. Bookmakers are also uncertain about an outright victory for the visitors, as reflected in the odds. Sandro Wagner's Augsburg is a team in the making, just like Ole Werner's Leipzig, so the outcome could go either way. At the WWK Arena, the last four encounters ended in draws, but we anticipate this streak will be broken. Leipzig are in better form and capable of securing a win on the road. Our prediction: total goals under 3.5. Predicted scoreline: 1-2.
