Match Preview
With just 10 rounds played, Bayern Munich has already established a commanding lead at the top of the Bundesliga table. This dominance is not just a result of their competitors’ struggles but also of the “Rekordmeister” maintaining exceptional form. Bayern currently sits five points ahead of second-placed RB Leipzig, a gap that is notoriously difficult to close against a team of their caliber.
Only two teams have managed to take points off Bayern this season: a 1-1 home draw against Bayer Leverkusen and a thrilling 3-3 away result at Eintracht Frankfurt. Bayern has won all other matches, boasting an impressive goal difference of +26, with 33 goals scored and just 7 conceded.
Their most recent outing was a modest 1-0 win over newly promoted St. Pauli, preceded by dominant victories against Union Berlin (3-0) and Bochum (5-0).
Augsburg, meanwhile, sits in 13th place with 12 points but arrives in Munich in solid form. Jesse Thorup’s side is unbeaten in their last three matches, including a surprising 2-1 victory over Borussia Dortmund at home. They followed that up with two draws: 0-0 against Hoffenheim and 1-1 with Wolfsburg.
Given their limited financial and squad resources, Augsburg’s recent results can be considered a success. However, containing Bayern at the Allianz Arena presents a monumental challenge for their defense.
