Augsburg-Bayern Munich is a match on the seventh day of the Bundesliga
AUGSBURG – BAYERN MUNICH | Saturday 3.30pm
There are two different Bayern Munich sides at the moment: one winning, dominating and setting the pace in the Champions League and having secured qualification for the next round after just two matches; and another struggling in the Bundesliga, coming off three draws in a row. Now, at the turn of the break, the feeling is that Nagelsmann’s Bavarians are ready, having put things right in Europe, to return to winning ways in the league. Also because there will be no turnover and the only two line-up changes expected compared to the team that beat Barcelona, are dictated by injuries. In goes Mazraoui – who did very well – and new confidence in de Ligt, who didn’t start well.
Then there is another situation regarding Sané: the striker is in an extraordinary moment of form and doesn’t seem to want to stop. He will also be a starter tomorrow against Augsburg, who are coming off an important victory at Werder Bremen but seem destined to succumb to Bavarian dominance. No more lapses of concentration in the league are allowed.

The Prediction
In a match that should yield at least three goals in total, there is little doubt this time around that it should be a Bayern Munich victory. Having put Champions League talk on ice, the German champions should return to winning ways after three draws in a row. Indeed, they will return to winning ways.
