The race for the Bundesliga title this term appears to be intense at this stage of the season, and the defending champions will look to put pressure on Bayer Leverkusen when they return to action on Sunday. Bayern Munich will be chasing a second straight victory when they face Augsburg, as they look to close the gap at the top to one point.
Bundesliga Preview
There will be a competitive battle for the top-flight title in Germany this term, with Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen competing for the top spot. At present, the defending champions have the bigger task on their hands, as they sit four points behind the shock leaders at this stage of the season. Bayern handed the advantage to Leverkusen last weekend after the Bavarian giants were stunned by Werder Bremen.
However, their title charge got back on track in midweek, as Bayern landed victory in their game in hand against Union Berlin at the Allianz Arena. It was a cagey affair between the sides in Bavaria, with Bayern eventually landing the win following an effort by Raphael Guerreiro shortly into the second half.
Bet hereAugsburg will take confidence from the problems that other sides have caused Bayern in recent weeks, but they will still be the massive outsiders in the betting to claim victory despite having home advantage. The German side bounced back to form at an important stage last weekend, ending a four-game winless run in the competition.
It was a strong display by Augsburg on the road in that fixture against Borussia Monchengladbach, as they came back from a goal down to secure a 2-1 victory. The match-winning effort was netted early in the second half by Arne Engels.
Augsburg vs Bayern Munich Head to Head
Bayern Munich have bossed the recent clashes between these German sides after winning each of the previous two. Over that period, they have netted eight goals. However, Augsburg have also scored four over the same run. Interestingly, Augsburg have picked up wins in each of their last two home matches against their Bavarian rivals.
Augsburg vs Bayern Munich Prediction
Something isn’t right at Bayern at present, and their performance levels have dropped significantly. That could leave them vulnerable against Augsburg this weekend. Therefore, a timid betting play could come on the hosts on the spread market at (+2).
