Augsburg vs Bayern Munich Prediction

Augsburg are currently 16th in the Bundesliga, and have won only one of their last five league games. Not much separates them from 15th-placed Stuttgart or 14th-placed Eintracht Frankfurt; however, this poor run of form could drag Augsburg down the table.

Bayern Munich, unsurprisingly, are top of the league table, four points ahead of 2nd-placed Borussia Dortmund. Not much has changed in that regard; Bayern Munich continue to blow away their opponents on a regular basis.

Bayern Munich will be the favourites.

Prediction: Augsburg 0-3 Bayern Munich
