Following the return of Amadou Haidara from the Africa Cup, RB Leipzig will be able to field a full squad for the first time in the Bundesliga this Saturday at FC Augsburg (3.30pm/Sky).

Five facts about RB Leipzig's game in Augsburg:

- Following the return of Amadou Haidara from the Africa Cup, RB Leipzig can line up with a full squad for the first time this Saturday in the Bundesliga at FC Augsburg (3.30pm/Sky).

- Leipzig have a successful record against the Fuggerstadt club. There has only been one defeat in 15 first division encounters, and that was in September 2017 (0:1). However, RB have failed to win in their last two appearances at the WWK Arena, drawing twice. Augsburg have only won one of their last seven Bundesliga games.

- RB new signing Castello Lukeba's star rose in the first leg in September (3-0) when he made his starting debut alongside Mohamed Simakan following the absence of Willi Orban. However, it's hard to imagine head coach Marco Rose changing his defense after the 2-0 win over Union following their first clean sheet since September.

- RB showed incredible efficiency in the first leg - three shots, three goals after just 27 minutes with David Raum's 3-0 goal, after Xavi Simons (6th minute) and Lois Openda (11th) had already scored.

- RB are currently the most dangerous Bundesliga team with 14 set pieces. At the other end of the pitch, FCA have conceded the most goals from resting balls of any team (14). The Fuggerstädter are also the only Bundesliga team not to have conceded a goal this season. With a total of 37 goals conceded, Augsburg rank 16th in the league.
