Bayern Munich look back on their last three matches with six points to show for their efforts. Against RB Leipzig, they were left empty-handed in a 1-3 defeat, but they avenged themselves by beating FC Koln in a 1-2 win. They followed that up with a 0-4 win against Werder Bremen in their most recent outing. Bayern Munich won four of their last six Bundesliga matches on home soil, while drawing once and losing once. They conceded nine and scored 19 goals.

Augsburg Form

In their previous three games, Augsburg lost 2-0 and 2-0 against B. M'gladbach and Unterhaching, respectively, before drawing 4-4 with B. M'gladbach. In their last six Bundesliga away matches, Augsburg failed to win even once. In stead, they've drawn two and lost four, scoring ten while also conceding 16 times.

Augsburg naturally hope for a a top half position come reckoning day next spring, but experts foresee a tough battle ahead in the lower regions of the Bundesliga.
