Augsburg take on the visitors Bayern Munich in the round 28 match of German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Friday, April 4th at WWK Arena (Augsburg).
Augsburg look solid under their current coach. The Fuggerstädter began their Bundesliga journey with optimism, even qualifying for the Europa League and putting up respectable performances there. However, they couldn't repeat that success in the following years and gradually became a side constantly fighting for survival. Still, they’ve remained remarkably consistent in avoiding relegation, never dropping back down to the second tier. The turning point came with the appointment of Jess Thorup midway through last season. He immediately lifted the squad into mid-table respectability, with results that allowed them to steer clear of danger. In the current campaign, they even have a chance of sneaking into 7th place. Their Bundesliga form has been excellent since mid-January, with no losses, and they continued that momentum with a 1-1 draw against Hoffenheim after the international break.

Bayern only retained the Meisterschale in 2023 because Borussia Dortmund stumbled with a draw at home in the final round. But despite making several big-name signings, including the record-breaking arrival of Harry Kane, they dropped to third place in the Bundesliga and ended the season without silverware. This year, they once again suffered an early domestic setback by getting knocked out of the cup at home by Bayer Leverkusen. On the bright side, they bounced back in Europe by beating Leverkusen twice in the Champions League knockout rounds and have since opened a comfortable lead in the Bundesliga. Their recent 3-2 win over St. Pauli kept them ahead and showed signs of growing attacking sharpness.
As expected, Bayern dominate this fixture. Their 3-0 win late last year marked their fifth consecutive victory over Augsburg. Bayern are the clear favorites, but backing them outright feels uninspired. Considering Augsburg’s decent form and Bayern’s ongoing injury concerns, both teams to score looks like the smarter play.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes.
