Bayern Munich will look to stay in touch with Bundesliga leaders when they travel to Augsburg on matchday five on Saturday. This match at the WWK Arena between the fourth-placed ‘Fuggerstadter’ and the second-placed ‘Bavarians’ is likely to produce a high-scoring thriller with over 4.5 goals, our match prediction.
Augsburg have seven points (W2, D1, L1) and are three points behind second-placed Bayern, who have ten points (W3, D1). Bayern start this round two points behind leaders Dortmund.
Augsburg’s unbeaten start to the league campaign ended in a 3-2 away defeat at Werder Bremen before the international break. That result was their first in four league games this season (W2, D1).
At home, Augsburg are unbeaten in their last five league games (W2, D3) with all five matches seeing both teams scoring goals. In fact, their last four home matches against Bayern have also produced BTTS.
Bayern thrashed Union 7-0 at home to go to the international break on a high. That marked a third competitive win in a row, with the Bavarians scoring 14 goals in that sequence.
The visitors are unbeaten in their last four matches away from Munich this season (W3, D1), but the 0-0 draw in that sequence at Schalke is a warning sign that they can’t take Augsburg lightly on this trip.
