Match Prediction for Augsburg vs. Bayern Munich
At home, Augsburg doesn't always manage to secure a positive result, but they rarely suffer outright defeats. In their last 18 home Bundesliga matches, the club has suffered seven losses, yet none were heavy defeats. Moreover, Augsburg has conceded more than two goals only three times in this period. Additionally, the team began this season with an away victory.
Bayern rarely drops points on the road, but very convincing wins were few in last season's Bundesliga. In their last 12 away league matches, Vincent Kompany's side achieved a margin of at least three goals only twice, and they failed to win in five of those games. Furthermore, in the last seven head-to-head encounters at Augsburg's home in the Bundesliga, Bayern has not won by more than two goals.
I believe the hosts can avoid a heavy defeat in this match. My prediction: Augsburg with a handicap (+2.5)
* The starting lineup for each team is based on their last match in this tournament.
