Henri Koudossou (muscular problems), Reece Oxford (Fitness), Mergim Berisha (Hamstring injury), Elvis Rexhbecaj (Ill), Steve Mounié (Ill), Yusuf Kabadayi (Knee surgery) and Robert Gumny (Adductor injury) aren’t available for Augsburg manager Jess Thorup.
It looks as if Augsburg could use the 3-4-2-1 formation for this one with Finn Dahmen, Chrislain Matsima, Jeffrey Gouweleeuw, Keven Schlotterbeck, Marius Wolf, Arne Maier, Frank Onyeka, Cedric Zesiger, Mert Komur, A. Claude Maurice and Samuel Essende.

Team News: RB Leipzig
RB Leipzig boss Marco Rose has to choose a team with limited availability. Assan Ouédraogo (Hamstring injury), Xaver Schlager (Knee problems), Yussuf Poulsen (Hamstring injury) and Benjamin Henrichs (Achilles tendon rupture) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.
From our viewpoint, Leipzig could decide to elect for a 3-1-4-2 lineup, settling for Peter Gulacsi, Lukas Klostermann, Castello Lukeba, E. C. Bitshiabu, Nicolas Seiwald, Ridle Baku, C. Baumgartner, Xavi Simons, David Raum, Loïs Openda and Benjamin Sesko.
🔮
Prediction
We feel that Augsburg may find it difficult to put one past this RB Leipzig outfit who we think will likely gain the upper hand.
Our tip is therefore for a good tussle with a 0-1 winning margin for RB Leipzig after 90 minutes.
Little in this one.
