- Venue: WWK Arena (Augsburg)
On a mission to reinforce their dominance in the title race, Bayern Munich takes on European hopefuls Augsburg at WWK Arena in a Friday night Bundesliga clash.
While they fell short of taking full advantage of RB Leipzig’s slip-up last round, Augsburg’s own 1-1 draw at Hoffenheim at least saw them edge closer to the European spots, leaving them just three points away from the final berth that guarantees continental football next season.
In contrast, Bayern Munich were made to sweat hard by relegation-threatened St. Pauli, barely managing to collect all the spoils in a hard-fought 3-2 thriller, but that success at least allowed them to maintain a six-point buffer at the top over their closest title rival Bayer Leverkusen.
Augsburg vs Bayern Munich Betting Tips : BTTS
Despite Augsburg enjoying their longest unbeaten streak in Bundesliga history with 11 matches without losing (W6 D5), it’s hard to envision them extending this club record any further against the Bavarian giant, who is poised to brush aside another obstacle on their path to the title. With a win for Bayern, we could get the nets bulging at both ends, as the Munich club have several key defenders on the sidelined while new keeper Jonas Urbig is enduring a rough spell between the sticks, having already picked the ball out of his own net even six times in his first three matches. Much of the credit for Augsburg’s record unbeaten run goes to their well-organized backline, which had not conceded in six consecutive top-flight matches before last week’s 1-1 draw with Hoffenheim, but fending off Bayern’s relentless attacking firepower at bay is far easier said than done. However, Jess Thorup’s motivated side will be confident in their ability to trouble the Munich club’s defense and make their path to victory difficult, drawing encouragement from the fact that they have breached Bayern’s backline at least twice in three of the last five head-to-head meetings, setting the stage for an open contest with goals at both ends.

Head coach Jess Thorup is unlikely to tinker with his trusted starting eleven, which has set a club-record unbeaten streak of 11 matches.
There’s still uncertainty over Robert Gumny’s status, but Augsburg will have Mergim Berisha at their disposal for Friday’s match against Bayern Munich—though he’s expected to start from the bench.

Bayern Munich team news
The list of unavailable players for Bayern Munich is quite extensive, with Dayot Upamecano, Hiroki Ito, Tarek Buchmann, Alphonso Davies, Aleksandar Pavlovic, and Kingsley Coman all ruled out by injuries.
With Raphael Guerreiro’s status still up in the air following his absence from Wednesday’s session, Jonas Urbig will again fill in for the sidelined Manuel Neuer in goal.
