Two sides in contrasting form square off in round four of the German Bundesliga as RB Leipzig play host to Augsburg on Saturday.
Having failed to win any of the last 13 meetings between the sides, Enrico Maassen’s men will journey to the Red Bull Arena looking to get one over the hosts.
Leipzig made it two wins from two in their last outing before the international break as they cruised to a 3-0 victory over Union Berlin.
Prior to that, Marco Rose’s side kicked off the new Bundesliga campaign with a 3-2 loss at Bayer Leverkusen on August 19, six days before thrashing Stuttgart 5-1 on home turf.
Leipzig have now won their last five home matches in the Bundesliga, scoring 15 goals and conceding six since a 3-1 loss against Mainz on April 1.
Elsewhere, Augsburg picked up a morale-boosting result during the international break as they edged out SpVgg Greuther Fürth 2-1 in a friendly fixture.
The Fuggerstädter now turn their attention to the Bundesliga, where they have failed to win their opening three matches, losing once and claiming two draws.
While Augsburg will be looking to get their campaign up and running, they have struggled for results away from home, where they are without a win since the turn of the year, losing nine and claiming two draws in their 11 matches.
