Command Analysis
Augsburg
Current form
Augsburg entered the new season with two big wins over Schalke (3-0) and Eintracht (4-1). In the third round, they managed to extend the unbeaten streak by drawing with Bayer Leverkusen (2:2). The first defeat happened only in the fourth round away from Werder with a score of 2:3, and in that meeting they led 2-0, but missed the advantage. Seven points scored in four games, an intermediate fourth place in the standings is more than a solid result. The attack deserves special attention: in each of the matches it was possible to score more than one goal. In total, Manuel Baum's players scored 11 goals, which is the third highest score in the Bundesliga.
Disqualifications and injuries
Banks, Mounier, Sakar and Sousa are injured, Breithaupt and Kade are questionable.
Interesting betting trends
In four of Augsburg's last seven matches, there have been more than four offsides
In the previous three matches with Augsburg, more than three goals were scored.
Bayern are only in second place in the table by the fifth round. The reason for this is the sensational draw with Schalke away in the second round (0-0). Moreover, it was visiting Munich that had problems with Elversberg, who was beaten with a minimal one-goal advantage with a score of 2:1. At home, Vincent Kompany's team did not notice the resistance from Stuttgart (5:1) and Union (7:0). There are still some difficulties in the guest meetings. Bayern is second to none in attack, with 14 goals scored. Olise and Kane have been in excellent shape since the start of the season, scoring 14 goals between them, taking into account all tournaments. At the same time, both were actively involved in their national teams in the League of Nations matches during the international break.
Disqualifications and injuries
Only Musial is on the injured list.
Interesting betting trends
In three of the last five matches, Bayern have won in the opening 45 minutes.
Bayern haven't beaten Augsburg by more than two goals in their previous three face-to-face meetings.
Approximate line–up: Neuer – Limer, Upamecano, Ta, Davis – Kimmich, Pavlovich - Olise, Saibari, Diaz – Kane.
Bayern has a significant advantage in class, in the selection of performers and is deservedly the favorite in the line of bookmakers. At the same time, we are not expecting a crushing victory. The Munich leaders were fully involved in the matches for their national teams. While away in the Bundesliga, Vincent Kompany's wards have not shone, they have not beaten anyone with a crushing score. Augsburg has had a successful start, has been great in attack, and has scored more than one goal in each of the four rounds. Plus, Bayern hadn't won by more than two goals in the previous three face-to-face meetings.
Our betting tip is for Augsburg to win with an Asian handicap (+2.5) for a coefficient of 1.75
Augsburg has had no problems attacking since the start of the season, scoring at least two goals regularly. Bayern are accustomed to betting on the attack, where Kane and Olisé are soloists. There is a high probability that the opponents will be pleased with the abundance of goals scored today.
The second bet is a total of more than four goals with a coefficient of 1.57
Betting on corners
Bayern, regardless of the opponent, usually plays number one, spends a lot of time at other people's gates. In 22 of the last 27 matches, Munich have won on corners. It is unlikely that Augsburg will be able to match Bayern in this regard, even on its own field.
Prediction – Bayern win on corners with a handicap (-3.5) with a coefficient of 1.80
