THE PREDICTION

RB Leipzig will have been extremely frustrated midweek to have been pegged back late on by Augsburg from the penalty spot, ultimately drawing 1-1 and know that victory against a battling Arminia Bielefeld is crucial heading into the winter break. With the visitors coming off the back of three points at home to Bochum and still battling to escape the bottom two, this is no home banker for Leipzig. However, the boast a squad far superior to that of their opponents and with home advantage in their favour, should continue the unbeaten start they have made to life under new head coach Domenico Tedesco with victory in this one.
