The Allianz Arena is the stage for this highly-anticipated encounter as Bayern look to get back to winning ways against Augsburg in the Bundesliga. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.

Augsburg's famous win in the reverse fixture was their first against Germany's premier team in 13 matches. Would we see an ample response from the German champions this weekend ?

Nagelsmann's troops second best last Wednesday

Bayern Munich being outplayed in a football match is an extremely rare sight and that's exactly what happened last Wednesday at the Estadio de la Ceramica. Unai Emery's Villareal was all over the Bavarians in the first leg of their Champions League quarterfinals tie as they went on to secure a narrow 1-0 victory- Bayern's first loss away from home in the Champions League since 2017. It is a somewhat similar situation to that of Salzburg in the last 16 and we all know how that ended up for the Austrian outfit. For now, they would turn their attention to the German Bundesliga as they look towards edging closer to their 10th consecutive Bundesliga crown.

With three wins in their last four league games, Augsburg has done a great job of pulling away from any relegation scrap. Heading into this game, they're in 13th position with six points separating them from the relegation zone. A measly two wins from 14 away league fixtures means they aren't exactly the best travellers in the division, however, they would be fairly confident as they journey to the Allianz Arena having secured a 2-1 victory against Mainz last weekend. Gouweleeuw and Vargas were on target for the Bavarian side as they continued their run f scoring in every Bundesliga game since the turn of the year. Would they use this as a platform for an unprecedented double against their fellow Bavarians outfit ?
