Bayern Munich vs Augsburg Prediction: Bayern will surely win

To complete the program of the second round of the German Bundesliga will be the Bavarian derby, in which Bayern will act as the host of the field. Not surprisingly, the German champions in the pair are quoted as big favorites, because in Munich Augsburg has a 4-match losing streak.

After a disappointing 0:3 loss to Leipzig in the German Super Cup, Bayern Munich beat Werder 4:0 away in Bremen. The score was crushing, but it can't be said that the victory was easy for the Reds. The score remained at 1:0 until the 74th minute, and two goals out of 4 were scored at the end of the game. During the game, Bayern shot 25 times toward the goal and 10 times into the net, with an xG index of 2.62.

Augsburg had an extremely unsuccessful start to the season, flying out of the German Cup from the club Unterhacking. They played their first match in the 2023/24 Bundesliga on their field, hosting Borussia Gladbach and drawing 4:4. In that game, Augsburg lost 0:2 and 1:3, leading 4:3, but could not keep the advantage. Four Bavarian players scored: Rexbechai, Bauer, Michel, and Vargas. Augsburg shot 20 times toward Borussia's goal, hit the net, possessed the ball 53% of the game time, and played on the xG index equal to 2.39.

In the ten marginal games against Augsburg, Bayern have only twice beaten the geographical neighbor by a margin of three goals or more. Nevertheless, judging by the game line, bookmakers have little doubt that the Reds will defeat their opponent on Sunday. The logic of the bookies is clear: after the failure in the match for the German Super Cup, Munich will try to apologize to their fans, but Augsburg is not as simple as it seems. We believe that Augsburg is underestimated. Bayern will surely win the derby, but we doubt that crushingly.
