FC Augsburg vs RB Leipzig

FC Augsburg are winless in their last 16 competitive meetings with RB Leipzig (D5, L11), their longest ongoing wait for a victory against any side in professional football. However, they have drawn each of their last three home games against RBL (all in the Bundesliga) – their only top-flight win over Leipzig also came at home (1-0 in September 2017).

FC Augsburg are on a five-game unbeaten run in the Bundesliga (W3, D2) – they have only ever managed a longer spell without defeat under Jess Thorup across his first six games in charge (October to December 2023). 27 points is FCA’s highest tally at this stage in seven years (31 points from 21 games in 2017/18), while they also possess the league’s best defence in 2025 (3 goals conceded).

RB Leipzig’s 2-0 home win over St. Pauli ended a four-game winless run in the Bundesliga and saw them keep their 10th clean sheet of the campaign, a joint league high together with Bayern – they have never managed more across the first 21 games of a top-flight season (also 10 in 2020/21 and 2018/19).

RB Leipzig have won just one of their last seven Bundesliga away games (D2, L4): 2-0 in Kiel at the start of December. They are winless in their four top-flight away matches since (D2, L2) and have never endured a longer wait for a victory on their travels in the Bundesliga under Marco Rose.

Eight points from the first four games in the second half of a Bundesliga season is a new club record for FC Augsburg – only FC Bayern have claimed more points since the midway mark (12). RB Leipzig have collected only six points so far in the second half of the season – they have only ever mustered fewer in 2019/20 (5).
