Bayern vs Augsburg Prediction
🔊 How many goals will Bayern score in the Bavarian derby against Augsburg? Vincent Kompany and his team continue to steamroll their opponents, while the "Fuggers," led by Manuel Baum, are scratching their heads over how to end their winless streak and pull away from the relegation zone. In the first round, Augsburg put up a valiant fight against the Munich side on their home turf, but what will unfold at the Allianz Arena?
Head-to-Head
📊 Bayern triumphed in the Bavarian derby during the second round at the WWK Arena, but not without a scare as they conceded two consecutive goals from Augsburg (3-2). Back then, the visiting team was coached by Sandro Wagner. At the Allianz Arena, the Munich side have only lost to the "Fuggers" once (12 wins, 1 draw).

Bayern Munich Team Overview
🔴 Bayern continue their relentless march towards a record 34th championship title with a commanding victory in Leipzig (5-1). The reigning champions netted five unanswered goals in the second half, staging a stunning comeback after trailing at halftime and restoring their 11-point lead at the top of the table. This victory extends Munich's unbeaten streak in the Bundesliga to 18 matches since the start of the season.
⚪ With 50 points and a goal difference of +57 after 18 rounds, these are record-breaking figures for the league. Bayern remain undefeated in the championship and aim to replicate the unbeaten title-winning season of 2023/24, previously achieved by Bayer Leverkusen.
🏆 On Wednesday at the Allianz Arena, Bayern efficiently defeated Belgian side Union Saint-Gilloise thanks to a brace from Harry Kane. After seven rounds, the team sits second in their group and has already secured a spot in the Champions League Round of 16.

Augsburg Team Overview
🔴 Augsburg secured another crucial point in their survival battle with a 2-2 draw against Freiburg. Despite leading by two goals, they might have hoped for more. After a goalless first half, Alexis Claude-Maurice and Elvis Rexhbecaj quickly put them ahead early in the second half. However, midway through, the 'Fuggers' conceded twice in quick succession.
⚪ Previously, Manuel Baum's side also let a lead slip in their home game against Union Berlin (1-1). As a result, Augsburg are just three points clear of the relegation playoff zone with 16 matches remaining in the season.
🟢 Manuel Baum has only lost two of his six matches in charge of Augsburg after replacing Sandro Wagner. However, picking up points in Munich seems an almost impossible task for the 'Fuggers', especially considering they haven't won away from home in seven matches-recording one draw and six losses.

Latest news
Bayern Munich
🎙️ Vincent Kompany after Wednesday's victory: "This is the Champions League - it's never easy here. I wouldn't say the opponent was better in the first half. We had our chances too, but we lacked pace. Despite the sending off, in the second half, we played very well in my opinion. It was a clear step forward in terms of quality of play. The team responded with confidence. Before the break, it wasn't enough, but after it, everything looked good."
❌ Dayot Upamecano and Sacha Boey remain doubtful due to illness. Konrad Laimer and Josip Stanisic are injured. Nicolas Jackson is expected to return to the squad.
Augsburg
🎙️ Manuel Baum ahead of the match in Munich: "We're facing a very tough challenge, but I expect my team to take a clear stance: we want to unsettle Bayern. We need to play compactly, be aggressive in tackles, disrupt the opponent's rhythm, and transition into attacks boldly. Against Bayern, you hardly have time to think - a lot must happen instinctively. If you let them find their rhythm, it becomes extremely difficult."
📝 Center-back Arthur Chavez has joined Augsburg on loan from Hoffenheim until the end of the season, with an option to buy. The 24-year-old has been with Hoffenheim since the summer of 2024, with his contract running until 2029. Throughout his club career, he has made 39 official appearances (scoring two goals), including six matches in the Europa League, and has also played six games for Brazil's U23 national team.
❌ In Munich, Manuel Baum will be without another center-back: Noakai Banks will miss the match due to an accumulation of yellow cards. Previously, Jeffrey Gouweleeuw and Chrislain Matsima were already sidelined. The participation of Kristijan Jakic remains doubtful as he continues to recover from a shin injury.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
Florian Exner has been appointed as the main referee for the match. On average, over his last ten games, he's shown 6.4 cautions per game. Bayern's average yellow card total stands at 1.8, while the "Fuggers" have the highest in the league at 2.7. Nevertheless, we opt for total under 3.5 yellow cards-a scenario that has occurred in Bayern's last five consecutive matches.
⚽ Goal Prediction
We're not focusing on the fact that Kompany's side scored just two goals against Union at home in the Champions League. Instead, we're picking Bayern's individual total over 2.5 goals. This outcome has happened in seven consecutive head-to-head meetings with Augsburg, as well as in seven of Bayern's last eight Bundesliga games.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Bayern lead the league in average corners per match with 6, while Augsburg averages 4.4. We choose Bayern's individual total under 7.5 corners-a bet that has hit in 8 of the team's last 9 matches.
Editor's Prediction
It's challenging to assess Augsburg's chances of securing a positive result in Munich, especially given their four consecutive away defeats. Much will depend on the opening phase of the match: if the hosts manage to break down the "Fuggers'" defense early on, the goal tally could rise quickly. The visitors will need to open up in an attempt to equalize, creating additional spaces and leading to dangerous moments at their goal.
Considering Bayern have scored in the first half in 16 of their last 18 matches, we expect this trend to continue here as well. Our final pick is a Bayern win with a -2.5 handicap. It's not out of the question that the Munich side will replicate last season's result at the Allianz Arena - a 3-0 victory.
