Bayern Munich v Augsburg

Bayern Munich vs Augsburg Preview

Bayern Munich's unbeaten start to this season's Bundesliga campaign was extended to 10 games just before the international break with a 1-0 win away from home at St Pauli, while Augsburg stretched their unbeaten run in the German top flight to three games following a 0-0 draw at home with Hoffenheim.

Bayern Munich find themselves in familiar territory once again as the hosts sit top of the Bundesliga and five points clear of second placed RB Leipzig ahead of Friday night's encounter against Augsburg, and having won each of their last four games on the trot in the domestic top flight, Vincent Kompany's side look in good shape to add to their points tally here.

Recent wins gained at the expense of Stuttgart 4-0, Bochum 5-0, Union Berlin 3-0 and the aforementioned St Pauli 1-0 have seen Bayern score a total of 13 goals and keep clean sheets in each of these four games as well.

The bigger picture shows Bayern Munich have been dealt just two defeats in their last 16 matches overall in the Bundesliga and having picked up a total of 12 wins within this impressive sequence of results, the hosts look to be in the driving seat for this upcoming fixture.

Augsburg's recent exploits have been a little more modest than those of their upcoming hosts but nevertheless, the visitors bring a three-game unbeaten run into Friday night's fixture at the Allianz Arena which consists of a win together with two draws.

An impressive 2-1 home win against Borussia Dortmund was followed by collecting useful points in the form of stalemates with Wolfsburg and Hoffenheim in 1-1 and 0-0 draws respectively, so Jess Thorup's side will feel much better about their chances here on Friday night.

However, despite picking up three wins so far this season which have been gained over the likes of St Pauli, Borussia M'gladbach and Borussia Dortmund, it should be noted that all three victories were achieved on home soil at their WWK Arena, while also slipping to three defeats as well.

Results away from home though have been a cause for concern for Jess Thorup's side as the bigger picture shows Augsburg have now failed to win any of their last eight away games in the Bundesliga, and having been dealt seven defeats within this sequence as well, expectations are probably low as they prepare to face the Bundesliga leaders here on Friday night.

Bayern Munich v Augsburg Verdict

Bayern Munich have kept clean sheets in five of their last seven home games in the Bundesliga at the Allianz Arena, and another shut-out along with a three-point haul looks to be on the cards for Vincent Kompany's side.
