Bayern Munich vs Augsburg Predictions

A Tactical Analysis & Predictions for the Bavarian Derby
Key Stats
– Augsburg saw goals from both sides in 21 out of 34 league games last season.
– Bayern Munich’s Bundesliga matches last season averaged a whopping 3.82 goals per match.
Fresh from inaugurating their title defence with a triumphant performance, Bayern Munich are prepped for a confrontation with Augsburg in their inaugural home game of the season. History shows a predominantly unilateral pattern in their recent skirmishes, with Bayern largely dominating. Given this backdrop, spectators are bracing themselves for another pronounced win for the Bavarians.
Bayern Munich’s auspicious start was evident in their resounding 4-0 triumph over Werder Bremen. Newcomer Harry Kane wasted no time making an impact, contributing a goal and an assist. Similarly, Leroy Sane, showcasing his prowess, scored twice. This dynamism exhibited by the Bavarians in Bremen was a testament to their championship-calibre.

The Allianz Arena beckons Bayern once more, a venue where they’ve historically delivered some crushing defeats, a prime example being the 6-0 annihilation of Schalke 04 just a few months prior.
Augsburg’s Wobbly Start
On the flip side, Augsburg had a somewhat shaky commencement, settling for a draw against Borussia Monchengladbach in a game rife with goal opportunities. The likes of Elvis Rexhbecaj, Max Bauer, Sven Michel, and Ruben Vargas found the net for Augsburg. Despite the attacking flair displayed, conceding four goals does raise eyebrows, echoing the defensive woes that haunted them the previous season. Their recent form is also a point of concern, having secured a single win in their past 12 Bundesliga outings and being consistently outplayed in away games.
Betting Houses’ Perspective
Bayern’s prowess hasn’t gone unnoticed in the betting realm. BetVictor pegs their odds for a win at a staggering 1/16. In stark contrast, a surprise Augsburg win fetches 30/1 odds at BetVictor, while a draw is at 12/1.
Historical Match-ups
When these teams collide, Bayern generally emerge superior. Last season was no different, with Bayern clinching a win both home and away, the latter being a goal-fest ending 5-3.
Key Players on the Pitch
Kane, after his stellar debut, is bound to be under the spotlight at the Allianz Arena. With odds of 21/50 at BetVictor, he’s tipped as the player to monitor. Augsburg’s Sven Michel, after his promising start, is another potential game-changer, with BetVictor offering 5/1 odds for him scoring.
The Predictions
1. Bayern Munich to Secure Victory
Bayern Munich have been in sublime form, especially when looking at their recent records. The sheer firepower they displayed against Werder Bremen on the opening weekend of this Bundesliga season is a testament to this. Their 4-0 victory sends a clear signal to their competitors, and it’s evident that Bayern are keen to keep their title. Historically, Bayern’s dominance is also evident when they play against Augsburg. Bayern Munich did a double over Augsburg in the previous season, which only further solidifies the narrative of their dominance.
Now, moving to the confines of the Allianz Arena for this match, Bayern are on familiar ground. Some of their most resounding victories have come at this venue, like the 6-0 demolition of Schalke 04 in May.
Contrastingly, Augsburg’s recent form is a concern. They’ve struggled to find consistent wins and even started this season with a 4-4 draw against Borussia Monchengladbach. Such a defence will have trouble containing the prolific Bayern front line, which means we can comfortably back Bayern to prevail with at least 1 goal margin.
2. A Goal Fest Awaiting: 4-2 in Favour of Bayern Munich
Delving deeper into a correct score prediction requires a blend of both teams’ attacking prowess and defensive vulnerabilities. Bayern Munich have been potent in front of the goal, which is evident from their 4-0 victory over Werder Bremen. However, they’ve had a couple of defensive hiccups recently, especially in their 0-3 loss to RB Leipzig.
On the other hand, Augsburg have shown they can find the net but at the expense of their defence. Their 4-4 draw with Borussia Monchengladbach was a thrilling encounter but highlighted defensive issues. The previous clashes between these two sides, such as the 5-3 Bayern victory, suggest we might be in for another high-scoring affair.
Considering all these factors, a 4-2 victory in favour of Bayern Munich might be on the cards. It’s an ambitious prediction, but given the attacking flair on display and some defensive vulnerabilities, it’s a plausible outcome.
3. Harry Kane to Find the Net
The goalscorer prediction becomes intriguing given the array of talent on display. However, one name stands out – Harry Kane. Having made a sensational debut for Bayern Munich with a goal and an assist, Kane seems to have seamlessly adapted to Bundesliga’s dynamics. The English striker’s pedigree is well-known in the footballing world, and with the kind of form he’s shown in his very first match, he’ll be keen to continue this momentum.
Augsburg’s defensive frailties, which were glaring in their 4-4 draw against Borussia Monchengladbach, will be something Kane will look to exploit. Given his sharpness in front of the goal, and Augsburg’s propensity to concede, Kane finding the net during the match seems like a plausible outcome. With odds of 21/50 by BetVictor, it’s a tempting bet to consider.
