Relegation threatened Augsburg welcome Bayern Munich to the WWK Arena for this Matchday 12 encounter in the German Bundesliga. The hosts are in the relegation zone in 16th position with nine points from their 11 matches. Bayern Munich are top of the table with 28 points from their 11 matches. The hosts are a point from the safety zone and will be desperate for a win. They will have to improve their form to complete their 10th consecutive season in the Bundesliga. They are unbeaten in their last three home matches with two wins and a draw. Their problems stem from a leaky defence as they have only kept one clean sheet in their last seven leagues games. They will be severely tested by a Bayern side that are the top scorers in the league with 40 goals, twelve more than the next best scoring team.
The visitors are chasing their 10th consecutive Bundesliga title and if they achieve this, it will be a new record of consecutive titles in Europe’s top five leagues. They are four points clear of second placed Dortmund and are on a run of four victories in the league. Their last league loss was a 2-1 home defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt. Bayern have just two losses in their last 17 matches across all competition with 15 wins. It has been 18 games since they last had a drawn match. Bayern have scored 40 goals in eleven matches at an average of 3.6 goals per game. In 24 competitive matches against Augsburg, Bayern have only lost three times with two other matches ending in draws.
Bayern have been in superb form all season while Augsburg are struggling in the relegation zone but the home team has improved their home form and are unbeaten in their last three matches. Augsburg have conceded goals in almost all their matches while Bayern have been scoring goals for fun. We are backing a high scoring win for the visitors. The best bet is the over 3.5 goals option.
