Bayern Munich are two points behind Borussia Dortmund at the top of the Bundesliga. They’ll be targeting maximum points at the WWK ARENA against Augsburg.

Augsburg hit by Banks injury ahead of derby

It has been a positive start to the campaign for Augsburg, who would move level on points with their Bavarian rivals with a victory in this match. However, they were beaten for the first time last time out, despite taking a 2-0 lead away to Werder Bremen.

They’ve been hit by a fitness blow since then, with regular defender Noahkai Banks suffering a knee injury while on Germany U21 duty. Tim Breithaupt, Anton Kade and Steve Mounie are additional doubts.

Fabian Rieder is the key creative force in midfield. He has already registered three assists in four Bundesliga outings this term. The Swiss international is also averaging 1.3 key passes and 1.5 shots per game.

Augsburg predicted lineup vs Bayern Munich (3-4-2-1): Dahmen; Matsima, Gouweleeuw, Brackelmann; Wolf, Massengo, Rieder, Behrens; Fellhauer, Claude-Maurice; Gregoritsch.

Kompany to go strong as busy fortnight starts for Bayern

Despite many of their players being involved with their national teams over the past three weeks, Bayern Munich are still expected to field a competitive lineup at the WWK ARENA. Harry Kane ought to lead the line after netting six times in four Nations League outings for England.

Jamal Musiala suffered a thigh injury while on international duty for Germany. He’s therefore expected to miss this game, with Ismael Saibari likely to start in an advanced midfield role.

Otherwise, Vincent Kompany has no major selection issues. Aside from Kane, Michael Olise is also in great form, with four goals in as many Bundesliga outings so far this season for the Frenchman.

Bayern Munich predicted lineup vs Augsburg (4-2-3-1): Neuer; Laimer, Upamecano, Tah, Davies; Kimmich, Pavlović; Olise, Saibari, Díaz; Kane.

Augsburg vs Bayern Munich Prediction

  • Safe Tip: Over 3.5 goals
  • Odds: 1.37 (22Bet)
  • Correct score prediction: Augsburg 1-3 Bayern Munich
  • 22Bet Booking Code: BSXAC

Key stats:

  • 75% of Augsburg fixtures in the Bundesliga have served up four or more goals.
  • Including a friendly last week, both teams have scored at least twice in each of Augsburg's last three games.
  • There have been at least four goals in each of Bayern's last three Bundesliga visits to the WWK ARENA (3-2, 3-1, 3-2).

Over 3.5 goals has landed in six of the last eight meetings between Augsburg and Bayern Munich in all competitions.

These are also two of the three highest-scoring teams in the Bundesliga this term. Manuel Baum’s side are averaging 2.75 goals per 90 minutes, while Bayern have netted 3.5 goals per game.

That bet has landed in eight of Augsburg's previous 10 matches, including friendlies. The main risk is a three-goal game, as in the last meeting (1-2) and in November 2024 (3-0), but Over 3.5 has still landed in six of the last eight meetings, making it the logical play at 1.37.

Augsburg vs Bayern Munich Prediction, Value Tip

  • Value Tip: Bayern Munich to win & Both teams to score
  • Odds: 1.833 (22Bet)
  • 22Bet Booking Code: C1YAC

Backing Bayern to win and both teams to score offers value at 1.833. That has been a winning bet in each of the previous four Bavarian derbies between the clubs in Augsburg.

Die Fuggerstädter can take belief from netting in seven of the previous eight meetings overall. However, their defence will struggle against a free-scoring Bayern side that created six big chances and struck seven times in their last match.

Verdict: Over 3.5 goals (1.37) — Augsburg 1-3 Bayern Munich
