​RB Leipzig reinforced its 2nd-place position in the table with a 2:1 victory on Friday over visitors FC Augsburg. The match’s first goal came in the 38th minute off a penalty kick by Dani Olmo, and his goal was followed just 5 minutes later when Leipzig’s Christopher Nkunku made the score 2:0 going into the halftime break. Although Augsburg failed to even have a shot on goal during the entire first half, and almost the entire second half, they finally tightened the match in the 77th minute, when Daniel Caligiuri found the net off a penalty kick of his own. The loss on Friday means that Augsburg have lost 6 of their last 7 matches, and Augsburg have failed to win in their last 9 competitive encounters with Leipzig. Leipzig currently have the best defense in the league, with just 18 goals conceded, and the win leaves them just 4 points behind first-place Bayern going into the rest of the weekend’s contests. The league’s 3rd-place club, VfL Wolfsburg, will host Borussia Mönchengladbach in Sunday’s late game, a match that will be important in deciding future European competition. Wolfsburg have won 6 of their last 7 games, and have conceded just 19 goals, making their defense the league’s 2nd-best after Leipzig. Adding to the club’s star defense is the scoring prowess of striker Wout Weghorst, who is now in 3rd place in the scorer’s table with 14. Gladbach’s loss to Cologne last weekend has left them 6 points behind Wolfsburg, and in 7th place in the table, and the last time the club won an away match against Wolfsburg was back in November 2003. Gladbach does, however, come to the match well-armed with the striking prowess of captain Lars Stindl, who in 20 appearances this season has scored 9 goals and assisted in 5 others. 2 other members of the Foals’ squad will be celebrating anniversaries this weekend: Florian Neuhaus is expected to make his 100th competitive appearance for the club, while Matthias Ginter is expected to make his 250th Bundesliga appearance. The weekend’s competition will not end until Monday, when Bayern host Bielefeld. While Bayern could extend their lead at the top of the table with a win over Bielefeld, the visitors are coming off a 15-day break since their last match, following the snow-induced postponement of last weekend’s scheduled match against Bremen.
