Augsburg vs Bayern Munich Stats

• Augsburg are unbeaten in their last 11 league games
• Augsburg have conceded just two goals in their past eight Bundesliga matches

There is a lot of tension between Bayern and the Canada national team because of the knee injury sustained by Alphonso Davies, which has ruled him out for the rest of the season.

Dayot Upamecano, Tarek Buchmann and Hiroki Ito are also in the treatment room for Die Roten, leaving Vincent Kompany short of defensive options. Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer is also sidelined, so expect Jonas Urbig to continue in between the sticks.

The shot-stopper is likely to be shielded by a back four of Konrad Laimer, Eric Dier, Kim Min-jae and Raphael Guerreiro.

Joao Palhinha and Joshua Kimmich should man the engine room due to the absence of Leon Goretzka and Alexander Pavlovic. In the final third, Kingsley Coman remains out of action, so Michael Olise and Leroy Sane are likely to flank forward Harry Kane.

Augsburg vs Bayern Munich

The bookies appear to be ignoring Augsburg's strong form coming into this (three wins from four games) as they come up against the league leaders. The hosts are 7/1 to come away with the victory on Friday evening.

Four of the Fuggerstadter's past seven Bundesliga games have ended in a stalemate, which was also the outcome on Bayern' latest away trip to Union Berlin. The draw is on offer at 18/5, which has an implied probability of 21.7%.

Die Bayern are the 2/5 favourites here, having won 20 of their 27 fixtures to date in the top flight.

Both teams to score has been a successful bet in their previous four outings and it is 10/11 to strike in Augsburg.

Kane has netted 21 goals in the league for Bayern and he is the 5/6 favourite to score anytime.

Draw @ 18/5

Augsburg are a team in confidence right now and so they should be - 11 games unbeaten is an impressive feat. They haven't lost a league game since January 12 and they have built up so much momentum in the past couple of months that they pose a big threat to Bayern on Friday.

The Fuggerstadter have been so strong defensively recently, with just two goals conceded in their last eight appearances. They have kept six clean sheets along the way and this solidity, as well as the fact they are at home, should bode well for them against the table-toppers.

Bayern are going through a slight injury crisis and they have suffered a few setbacks in terms of results in recent weeks including their draw with Union Berlin and a surprise home defeat to strugglers VfL Bochum.

Augsburg are one of the form sides in the division right now and I think they have more than enough to secure an impressive point against Kompany's men.
