Prediction for Augsburg vs. Bayern Munich
Jess Thorup's side is in excellent form. Augsburg is on a record unbeaten streak in the Bundesliga. Additionally, the team has already reached 10 victories, although in 4 of the last 5 seasons, this number was achieved by the club by the end of the entire championship. At home, Augsburg shows good results, not losing in 10 of 13 matches in the current tournament, with two of their three defeats coming by a minimal margin.
The Munich side calmed their fans a bit with a victory in the last round, but it cannot be said that Bayern convincingly defeated one of the tournament's outsiders. Moreover, away from home, Vincent Kompany's team has managed to win by at least two goals in only one of their last eight Bundesliga matches. Next week, the team faces a Champions League match, and it's unlikely that the Munich side will give their all in the national tournament. Moreover, Bayern last defeated their upcoming opponent on their field by more than one goal in 2018.
My prediction: Augsburg with a handicap (+1.5)
