On the road, the ‘Fuggerstädter’ took the upper hand last weekend, taking all three points in a 2-1 win over Borussia Monchengladbach.

Where Can I Watch?
Why Bet on Augsburg?
Unlike other years, Augsburg is having a relatively quiet season, sitting in the middle of the Bundesliga standings.
On the last matchday, they achieved a great 2-1 win over Borussia Monchengladbach, thanks to goals by Phillip Tietz and Arne Engels, both in the second half, thus ending a four-game winless streak with only one draw.
The club is now in tenth place with 21 points from 18 matches, the result of five wins, six draws, and seven defeats, with 26 goals scored and 33 conceded.
These are not great numbers, but at least they are helping them to stay away from the clubs that are losing the category.
At home, they are not a team to be feared since they have only three wins in nine games, with 16 goals scored and 15 conceded. In their last two matches in this condition, they lost to Bayer Leverkusen (0-1) after a last-gasp goal by Exequiel Palacios and drew with Borussia Dortmund (1-1).
The team’s most dangerous player is Bosnian Ermedin Demirovic, who has eight goals in the German league, although he is on a three-game scoring drought.
The good news for coach Jess Thorup is that Augsburg has no injuries.
Why Bet on Bayern München?
Bayern Munich are having a strange season. In the Champions League, they came through the group without any problems, but in the Bundesliga, they have not been able to catch Xabi Alonso’s Leverkusen. On the contrary, they are moving away from them.
Thomas Tuchel’s side were dealt an unexpected blow last weekend with a 1-0 home loss to Werder Bremen, with Mitchell Weiser scoring the only goal.
Bayern is second with 41 points, seven points behind the leader (with a game in hand), who continues to win in the Bundesliga.
Within the irregularity of what they have done in the league, the Munich team has the most goals, with a total of 52 goals, 22 of them from Harry Kane, while they have only conceded 16.
They are a great visitor, losing only five points out of 24. Only Frankfurt (5-1) and Leipzig (2-2) have taken points from them.
Tuchel has relevant absentees, such as central defender Kim Min-jae, who is with his national team in the Asian Cup, Noussair Mazraoui, who is also with his national team (and injured) in the African Cup of Nations, and winger Serge Gnabry, who is injured.
Final Betting Analysis: Augsburg vs. Bayern München
This season, these sides have already met, and Bayern won 3-1, thanks to a brace from top scorer Kane. However, the German giants have two defeats in their last two Bundesliga visits to Augsburg.
The numbers at Gambyl Exchange have Bayern München as the favorite. The Moneyline for them shows 1.313, while Augsburg has 9.75, and the draw is at 6.6.
Because of the head-to-head contest they are having with Bayer Leverkusen, the Munich team needs to win this match, and they will end up doing it because of the talent that the English striker Harry Kane has. We predict a 0-3 victory for the visitors.
Go for a win in Bayern München’s Moneyline. If you bet $100 at 1.313, you will gain $31 for a total payout of $131.
