Bayern Munich take on the visitors Augsburg in the round 11 match of German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Friday, November 22nd at Allianz Arena (Munich).
Bayern Munich, after nearly losing the Bundesliga title two seasons ago, received a wake-up call. That summer, they invested heavily in new signings, led by Harry Kane. However, it seems Kane might have brought Tottenham’s infamous "trophy curse" with him: in the 2023/24 season, he ended without any silverware—a stark contrast to his ambitions when joining Munich! Bayern reacted in an unusual way to this disappointment, signing only Michael Olise and João Palhinha while appointing Vincent Kompany as head coach. Kompany has already faced steep learning curves in the Champions League, suffering defeats to Unai Emery’s Aston Villa and Hansi Flick’s Barcelona. Despite these challenges, Bayern has been dominant in the Bundesliga, dropping points only against Bayer Leverkusen and Eintracht Frankfurt. They head into the international break as league leaders with a five-point cushion over second-placed RB Leipzig. Bayern’s Harry Kane has been prolific in Bundesliga matches and could easily lead the charge for a big win, especially against a leaky Augsburg defense. With Kompany needing to cement Bayern’s domestic dominance after Champions League setbacks, expect an aggressive approach to this match.

Augsburg continues to struggle for consistency. The "Fuggers" had a promising start to life in the Bundesliga, even securing European qualification in the past. However, they’ve since settled into the lower half of the table, consistently earning just enough points to survive. Last season, coach Jess Thorup took over after the campaign began and initially seemed to be steering the team towards a spot in the UEFA Conference League. Unfortunately, Augsburg faded in the spring, finishing 11th, marginally better than their usual standing. This season started poorly, with four losses and just one win in their first seven games. However, they’ve shown signs of improvement in mid-autumn, securing impressive wins over both Borussia Dortmund and Borussia Mönchengladbach and draws against Wolfsburg and Hoffenheim. Augsburg’s recent resurgence, including wins over stronger opponents, shows they can surprise, but their defensive vulnerabilities make them unlikely to hold off Bayern’s attacking onslaught.
Bayern Munich currently boasts a four-match winning streak against Augsburg. The only question here is how convincingly Bayern will secure their victory at home. Expect the hosts to dominate and win with a decisive scoreline.
Prediction for the match: Bayern Munich to win with a -2.5 goal handicap.
