The lineup for each team is based on their last match in this tournament.
Bayern Munich
In the previous round, the Munich side secured a 1-0 away victory against St. Pauli. The win in Hamburg allowed Vincent Kompany's team to extend their unbeaten run in the Bundesliga to 10 matches (8 wins, 2 draws). By Matchday 11, Bayern Munich confidently occupies the top spot in the league. Their closest pursuer, Leipzig, trails by five points.
João Palhinha will be unavailable for this match. The Munich midfielder is sidelined for several weeks due to a groin injury.
- The team has scored at least 2 goals in 9 of their last 11 home matches in the Bundesliga.
- Bayern Munich has defeated their upcoming opponent in 7 of the last 9 league encounters.
- Bayern has scored in the first half in 14 of their last 15 Bundesliga matches.
Augsburg
In their match against Hoffenheim, the Augsburg club did not delight their fans with goals (0-0). Over the last 5 Bundesliga matches, Jesse Thorup's team has lost only once (2 wins, 2 draws). After ten rounds, the team is in 13th place, four points clear of the relegation zone.
- Augsburg has not won in eight consecutive away matches in the Bundesliga (1 draw, 7 losses).
- The team has scored in 10 of their last 13 away games in the tournament.
- The club has conceded in 14 of their last 15 Bundesliga games.
Bayern Munich vs. Augsburg: Match Prediction
Augsburg has recently gained momentum, defeating Mönchengladbach and then Dortmund (both times 2-1). Their only defeat in the last five league games came against Freiburg, who are currently in the Europa League zone and have the same number of points as Bayer. However, even then, Augsburg did not lose heavily – 1-3. Moreover, in the last five rounds, Jesse Thorup's team has conceded only six goals. They have lost by more than three goals only once in their last eight Bundesliga matches.
Munich confidently leads the league table, but the team does not often win by a large margin. Only in four of their last 14 Bundesliga matches has Bayern won by more than three goals. It is worth noting that two of these four victories were against teams currently occupying the bottom two spots in the table – Bochum and Holstein.
The head-to-head statistics between the upcoming opponents are also noteworthy. In their encounters, Augsburg has never lost to Munich by more than three goals in the last 14 Bundesliga matches. I believe this series will continue in the upcoming game, so my prediction: Augsburg with a handicap (+3)
