Bayern Munich continue the defence of their German Bundesliga title with a Friday night trip to Augsburg. As expected, the Bavarians are setting the pace in the German topflight and should have too much quality for their hosts who are wallowing near the bottom of the table.
It is still early days but Augsburg are already showing relegation form having claimed just two wins from their opening 11 matches. They have spent the entire campaign in the bottom three and will need a quick turn around in fortunes in order to avoid the drop.
The problem for manager Markus Weinzieri is Augsburg are not showing any signs of improvement at the moment. They have lost two of their last three Bundesliga matches and were beaten 1-0 by Wolfsburg prior to the international break.
Augsburg are also among the worst defences in the Bundesliga this season and have kept just one clean sheet thus far. They have also suffered some heavy defeats at home, losing 4-0 to Hoffenheim and also falling 4-1 to Bayer Leverkusen.
Bayern Munich are once again having an impressive campaign and have suffered just one defeat in 11 Bundesliga matches. They are four points clear at the top of the standings and are already through to the knockout stage of the UEFA Champions League.
The Bavarians have won their last four Bundesliga matches and travel to Augsburg off the back of a 2-1 victory over Freiburg in their previous fixture. Goals from Leon Goretzka and Robert Lewandowski were enough to get them the win despite a late consolation from the visitors.
Once again led by the brilliant Robert Lewandowski, Bayern are the leading scorers in the Bundesliga this season and have found the net in every match. They have also claimed some one-sided victories on their travels, winning 5-1 over Bayer Leverkusen and also easing past Union Berlin 5-2 in their last outing on the road.
