RB Leipzig will be hoping to keep up their winning form on Friday when they welcome Augsburg.

The hosts have won their last three games after a 3-0 away win over FC Schalke. They sit second in the table with 41 points and have eight wins, one draw and one loss at home this season.

Augsburg have lost five of their recent six games following their 2-0 defeat at home to Wolfsburg last weekend.

In 13 meetings, Leipzig have seven wins while Augsburg have three. The sides met on Dec. 22 when Leipzig picked up a 3-0 win and have won five in a row.

The hosts are missing Dominik Szoboszlai, Emil Forsberg, Justin Kluivert and Konrad Laimer who are injured.

Augsburg will be without Iago and Raphael Framberger.
