In the upcoming jugular tornado of a match, we're staring at Bayern Munich crossing horns with Augsburg. This pair has had some fancy footwork in the past that could land you in a salsa class. Their last three meet ups saw Bayern Munich walk away smiling each time, and I'm hardly one to ignore a pattern unless it’s a floral print shirt.
Now, the goalkeepers at play here are Manuel Neuer, the guy barely breaks a sweat with 3 saves for Bayern Munich and Nediljko Labrović sporting 12 saves. Not a lot to work with there but, hey, if I want stats I’ll buy a calculator.
When we talk about Augsburg’s elite, we’ve got a parade led by Keven Schlotterbeck, Alexis Claude-Maurice, and Jeffrey Gouweleeuw, and each of them are as reliable as an expired coupon.
Bayern Munich, on the other hand, reheats the leftovers with Harry Kane bringing the heat with 6 goals in the recent past. Joshua Kimmich and Jamal Musiala both carrying strong ratings but not exactly ripping the net apart.
Season-wise, it's like looking at a beauty and a beast situation. Bayern Munich is giggling Chris Hemsworth style in a hot tub with 8 wins, while Augsburg, let's just say, could do with a bit of luck and a whole lot more skill.
The recent results are another story written in bold. Bayern Munich is on a streak hotter than a jalapeno on a barbecue, their last five games marking victories, with the game against Eintracht Frankfurt being the only minor hiccup in an otherwise flawless display. Augsburg, well it's like they're decorating a Christmas tree, too many draws but not enough wins.
And to wrap this thing up in a neat little bow, I gave you the horse's mouth feed without mentioning the spread and payout data, well, to imply otherwise would not be gentlemanly, to say the least.
