Bayern Munich vs Augsburg

Allianz Arena is the venue as Bayern Munich and Augsburg face each other in what promises to be a one-sided Bundesliga affair.

Back to the Bundesliga after dispatching Ligue 1 holders PSG from the Champions League 3-0 on aggregate, perennial Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich continue their pursuit of a record-extending 11th consecutive league title. The ‘Bavarians’ have won their last two league fixtures but are still level on points with second-placed Borussia Dortmund ahead of Augsburg’s visit to town. Despite the odds, this might not be a walk in the park for Bayern, considering they’ve lost two of their three Bundesliga H2Hs under Julian Nagelsmann (W1), having lost as many in their first 20 top-flight encounters against them. But they’ve been ruthless against Augsburg at home, winning nine of their 11 league clashes against them at the Allianz Arena (D1, L1), including the last three in a row.

Meanwhile, visiting Augsburg go into proceedings seeking their first Bundesliga points on the road in 2023 after losing their first four away league games this calendar year. The visitors’ fragile defense conceded at least three goals in three of those four defeats, which could prove a problem against the league’s most prolific attack. Speaking of Augsburg’s defensive woes, they’ve only kept one clean sheet across 11 Bundesliga travels this term, conceding 2+ goals eight times. The ‘Fuggerstädter’ will be desperate to fly out of the traps, knowing they’ve lost six out of seven away league matches in which they’ve shipped the opening goal this term (D1). But after drawing a blank in four of their last six top-flight H2Hs away to Bayern, that seems highly unlikely.
