Second-placed Augsburg with the Bundesliga's best defense will host league leaders RB Leipzig on Saturday at the top of the table derby of the 4th round.
Despite avoiding relegation last season, Augsburg is off to a flying start this time around. Victories over Union Berlin and Borussia Dortmund coupled with a draw away to Wolfsburg left them level on seven points with league leaders Leipzig. Augsburg is enjoying their best-ever start to a Bundesliga season. They have never been unbeaten after three rounds of fixtures, and sit second in the table for the first time in their top-flight history. A strong backline has been the key to the team's resurgence, and they have kept back-to-back clean sheets after conceding their first and only goal of 2020/21 so far on Matchday 1. Augsburg goalkeeper Rafal Gikiewicz has saved a league-high 15 of the 16 shots he has faced (94 percent), while one goal conceded is a best-mark shared with Wolfsburg. Florian Niederlechner should get the nod upfront as fellow forward Alfred Finnbogason is a doubt with a thigh strain, while head coach Heiko Herrlich will be back on the touchline after recovering from a collapsed lung that forced him to miss the goalless stalemate in Wolfsburg last time out. Their five goals so far this season have come from five different scorers.
Augsburg: Gikiewicz - Framberger, Gouweleeuw (c), Uduokhai, Iago - Hahn, Khedira, Gruezo, Caligiuri - Gregoritsch - Niederlechner
Out: Moravek (muscular)
Doubtful: Finnbogason (thigh)
Coach: Heiko Herrlich
Leipzig, on the other side, has no trouble finding the net, their score of eight goals so far is second to Bayern Munich (13). Emil Forsberg has scored two and assisted one of Leipzig’s eight Bundesliga goals after three matches. Julian Nagelsmann's side overpowered Schalke 4-0 prior to the international break - the first shutout of 2020/21 for Upamecano and Co., who have only let in two goals this season. France international will likely play in the center-of a three-man backline after playing for his country during the break. Captain Marcel Sabitzer is out with a thigh injury, making USA international Tyler Adams' return from a back injury on time to help. Leipzig is unbeaten in their last eight away matches in the Bundesliga. Nine would be a new club record. They won both fixtures against Augsburg last season, and have only lost one of eight to the Bavarian club.
Leipzig: Gulacsi (c) - Klostermann, Upamecano, Halstenberg - Haidara, Adams, Kampl, Angelino - Olmo, Forsberg - Poulsen
Out: Hartmann (knee), Sabitzer (thigh)
Doubtful: Laimer (knee)
Coach: Julian Nagelsmann

Augsburg started the season brightly but Leipzig is the side that wants a legitimate title battle with Bayern in this season. It could be a hard task for visitors but an away win is a reasonable bet.

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
