Augsburg take on the visitors Bayern Munich in the round 19 match of German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Saturday, January 27th at WWK Arena (Augsburg).
I think everyone understands that Augsburg logically goes into the match against Bayern Munich as the underdog, even at home. Although it is worth acknowledging that the team always performs noticeably better at their own ground than away. Overall, in the current season, Augsburg looks decent, occupying the 10th position in the table and being closer in points to the European qualification zone than the relegation zone. Yes, in two of their last three Bundesliga matches, Jess Thorup's wards predictably lost to Bayer and Stuttgart. However, not long ago, they managed to take points from Borussia Dortmund (1-1), defeated Eintracht (2-1) - all this at home. In the last round, they also managed to prevail over Gladbach's Foals (2-1). What am I driving at? Despite being the paper underdog, Augsburg are expected to score at least 1-2 goals against any opponent, especially in a home match.

Judging by the comments, almost everyone on our website, including myself, after Bayern's sensational and undeserved defeat to Werder, expected the Bavarians to break through in terms of goals in the match against Union Berlin. But football fortune favored Berliners. They conceded only one goal, although by xG, Tuchel's men played for 2.83 goals. Well, it didn't break through in that match, but it will now. Few would doubt the attacking power of Bayern Munich after the last two matches. But misfortune can happen to anyone. It's time for Kane to start scoring again. The real match of the year for the Munich team will take place in Leverkusen in a couple of weeks. But for now, they can warm up and fine-tune their game against Augsburg, who in recent seasons has not hesitated to emulate Bayern's style of play in personal meetings and play openly.
The opponent is significant for the whole of Germany, and the home stands simply do not allow Augsburg to sit back in defense in home matches against the historically best team in the country. Yes, points are obtained very rarely in this way. But the dedication of the hosts cannot be questioned. Augsburg lost the last three duels against Bayern via Over 3.5 Goals: 2-5, 3-5, 1-3. It is quite likely that against such a comfortable opponent, the visitors will indeed break through for goals and reach the required total on their own. Perhaps we will see mutually sharp football and something like a 2-3 outcome. But misfortune is something that rarely comes for just 1-2 matches. Therefore, I wouldn't be surprised if the favorite loses points here, and we see something like two double goals on the scoreboard. In any case, I will expect at least four goals. And you can write in the comments what you think about the outcome of this match.
Prediction for the match: Over 3.5 scored goals.
