Augsburg vs Bayern Munich predictions for Friday’s Bundesliga clash at WWK Arena. Can the relegation-threatened hosts get the better of the current league leaders? Read on for our free predictions and betting tips.
The hosts come into this fixture in relatively poor form having won just one of their last five in all competitions. Fortunately, their most recent victory came in their latest home fixture, when they beat Stuttgart by four goals to one. Markus Weinzierl will be hoping that his side can draw on that positive display.
The Augsburg players could also draw on what is actually a pleasing recent record at WWK Arena, where they’re unbeaten in four, three of which they’ve won. Offensively, they’ve notched seven goals during that time, while they’ve conceded just two, keeping two clean sheets.
Unsurprisingly, the team that claimed the Bundesliga title in each of the last nine seasons arrives here in fine form. Julian Nagelsmann’s men have a snug four-point lead at the top of Germany’s elite division, while they’ve won each of their last four league matches, scoring an impressive 16 goals in the process.
However, for all Germany’s highest achieving club continues to score goals at will, Friday’s visitors haven’t exactly been outstanding from a defensive point of view, conceding at least once in three of their last four, as well as in five of their last six.
Away from home, Bayern continues to experience no shortage of defensive issues, conceding at least a single goal in five out of five.
When all is said and done, in terms of sheer quality, this is a bit of a mismatch, though that doesn’t mean that the hosts can’t have a say one way or another.
From a betting point of view, ‘Bayern to Win & Both Teams to Score’ appeals. As we can see from the above, although the hosts rarely fail to score at home, they have a poor record against the top teams in the division, while the visitors know how to get the job done on the road, even if keeping clean sheets is not one of specialities.
