Bayern are playing at a good level this season, but their results are streaky. After a disappointing last season and a change of head coach, the Munich club has been scoring several consecutive wins with daunting scores, or can't find its game against tough opponents. Bayern are probably not as perfect as they were in their best years, but their current lead and five-point advantage over second place prevents critics from fully turning on the Munich squad. Augsburg has rather imperceptibly approached its fourteenth consecutive season in the Bundesliga. This team has never made weather in the elite German division and finished in the top half of the standings on just two occasions out of thirteen. And occurred these happy seasons from 2013 to 2015. Otherwise, the visitors are the league's middlers, heading to Bayern's pitch with the expectation of luck and at least one point. Bookmakers have identified the hosts as clear favourites for the upcoming encounter, offering odds of 1.12 on their victory.

Since the start of the season, Bayern have managed to hold fifteen official meetings. Of them, the team has not won only four. On the one hand, this should not upset Kompany too much, as the "black streak" fell on one part of the season - from 28 September to 23 October. On the other hand, Bayern have experienced problems with exactly those clubs that can be considered strong and ambitious. The Munich club has lost to Aston Villa and Barcelona, and has drawn with Bayer and Eintracht. With victories only over mid-table and outsiders, they are unlikely to regain the title of German champion and compete for a triumph in the Champions League.

Augsburg before travelling to Munich are in thirteenth place in the championship and have four unbeaten official meetings behind them. This pleasant series of the team began with a home victory over Borussia Dortmund. On the field of Bayern Augsburg can achieve a positive result only if they hold back the initial onslaught of the opponent and play reliably in defence. We bet that the visitors will be able to prevent Bayern from going on the attack, as almost the entire squad of the hosts returned from national teams one or two days before the upcoming meeting.
