Augsburg hosts Bayern Munich in round 17 of the German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Wednesday, January 20th at WWK Arena (Augsburg)
The middle peasants of the German elite have a comfortable lead over the relegation group and are more concerned about creating a foothold for further achievements. Augsburg is seven points behind the European Cup zone, but it is too early for the club to advance to the Europa League. To play on two fronts, Heiko Herrlich's team lacks the depth of the roster and the quality of footballers. In the summer, Augsburg made some interesting purchases (Caligiuri, Gumny, Gikiewicz, and Udoukhai). All new players have become the regulars or are actively used in the rotation of the roster. Vargas, Iago, Niederlechner, and Gouweleeuw are the leaders of the team.

Bayern Munich is ahead of its nearest pursuers by a minimal margin of four points. Flick's players are famous for their high scoring (48 goals in 16 matches, and it is the best indicator in the Bundesliga). But the defense of Bayern makes too many mistakes (24 conceded goals). The Munich fans expect not only a triumph in the local arena but also a repetition of last year's achievements in European Cups (Champions League trophy). Flick continues to gradually update the roster, where there are enough recognized veterans (Müller, Neuer, Alaba, Lewandowski, and Boateng), on whom the team's game depends. Coman, Gnabry, Goretska, Kimmich, Sule, and Hernandez have already grown stronger. The experts expect tangible progress from the young talents of Bayern (Musiala, Davis, Zirkzee, and Nianzou). The personnel potential of the Munich team looks strong, and the coaching staff has ample opportunities for rotation.
It is difficult for Augsburg to count on a positive result in a match with the grandee of national football. Herrlich's charges show good results, given their financial and staffing capabilities. However, Bayern Munich continues to be the top contender for gold. Lewandowski and company often hammer opponents with indecent scores, and they will probably win the upcoming game with a difference of at least two goals.
Prediction for the match: Bayern Munich to win with -1.5 handicap
