THE LOWDOWN
AUGSBURG
Augsburg come into this latest round of Bundesliga fixtures with new-found belief following a first victory since early December. It was a hugely impressive win as well, beating Borussia Monchengladbach away from home. After falling behind in the first half, Augsburg rallied brilliantly in the second half to turn things around and come away with the three points.
Bayer Leverkusen could only get the better of Augsburg by one goal to nil earlier in the month, which puts into perspective how difficult a game this will be for Bayern. Augsburg will no doubt makes themselves extremely difficult to break down with an eye on hitting the visitors via the counter-attack.
BAYERN MUNICH
Less than a week after their shock 0-1 defeat at home to Werder Bremen, a seismic result in the race for the Bundesliga title, Bayern Munich got back to winning ways, overcoming Union Berlin by a single goal in midweek. The win wasn’t convincing but three points was all that matters for a club now in a proper battle to make it 12 consecutive Bundesliga titles.
The gap between them and table toppers Bayer Leverkusen currently stands at four points and injuries are starting to hurt Bayern. Already without a number of players through international duty, the likes of Dayot Upamecano, Konrad Laimer and Joshua Kimmich are also missing, a big blow for Thomas Tuchel.

THE PREDICTION
There’s no doubt that Bayern Munich’s lengthy injury list is affecting them and won’t makes things easy for them on a ground which saw them come unstuck last season. But focus will be laser-sharp and after getting back to winning ways in midweek, Bayern should take that momentum into this game and ultimately dispose of Augsburg in what is expected to be a hard-fought away victory.
