A big Bundesliga derby takes place on Saturday afternoon at the WWK Arena as Augsburg looks to defeat reigning champions Bayern Munich in the German top flight.
Augsburg ended a poor run last time outThe home team ended a four-game winless run in the German top-flight last time out, as Augsburg recorded a 2-1 win at Monchengladbach. They had suffered three defeats in their previous four outings in the German top-flight.
The win at Monchengladbach was a relatively rare high-scoring clash, as six of Augsburg's previous nine league games have produced under 2.5 goals.
Jess Thorup’s team has been the definition of an inconsistent home team in the Bundesliga, as they have won two, drawn two and lost two of their last six league games on home soil.
Their recent home games in the Bundesliga have been relatively low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in three of their previous four matches.
Bayern bounced back against Union BerlinThomas Tuchel’s team bounced back to winning ways with a somewhat underwhelming 1-0 home win over Union Berlin. The victory came on the back of a shock 1-0 loss to Werder Bremen at the Allianz Arena.
The win over Union means Bayern have won ten of their last 12 matches in the Bundesliga. Despite the win, Bayern still trail red-hot league leaders Bayer Leverkusen by four points. The Bavarians are in a significant fight to claim the Bundesliga for the 12th straight season.
Unsurprisingly, Bayern has an excellent away record in the German top flight lately, winning four of their previous five league games on their travels.
The visitor's recent away outings in the Bundesliga have certainly delivered goals, with over 2.5 goals scored in ten of their previous 11 games away from home.
What am I backing?Bayern have not been that convincing of late in the Bundesliga. However, I believe the visitors will have too much quality for the home team.
