FC Augsburg Vs Bayern Munich Preview

Tournament: Bundesliga

Date: Saturday, April 4

Kick-off time: 18:30 GMT

Venue: WWK Arena

FC Augsburg lock horns with title favorites Bayern Munich at the WWK Arena on Saturday in round 28 of the Bundesliga action as they look to continue their unbeaten streak alive.

FC Augsburg have been in impressive form recently, remaining unbeaten in their last seven matches in the league. In this span, they have won three matches while drawing another four as they fight for a place in the top six this season, which will see them secure a European spot. Jess Thorup's side is currently languishing in eight positions in the standings with 39 points from 27 matches.

In the last match, they were held to a 1-1 draw against Hoffenheim despite creating more chances for themselves. Alexis Claude is their top scorer for this season with nine goals, while Dimitrios Giannoulis provides the most assists (4).

Bayern Munich, on the other hand, took one more step closer to the title with a 3-2 win over St. Pauli in the last match, despite the visitors giving them a late scare. With this win, Vincent Kompany's side maintains a six-point lead over Bayer Leverkusen, having accumulated 65 points from the starting 27 matches.

However, the last three matches haven't been good for them, having registered only one win, after their shocking loss against Bochum and a 1-1 draw with Union Berlin. Harry Kane has been in excellent form this season and is the top scorer with 22 goals, with summer recruit Michael Olise providing the most assists with 9.

Key players to watch in FC Augsburg Vs Bayern Munich

Alexis Claude (FC Augsburg)

Alexis Claude has emerged as the main man for Augsburg this season after the departure of Demirovic which has helped him developed more as a first-choice striker.

This season seems to be the breakthrough year for him having already scored nine goals from 21 matches while also providing an assist. However, he is yet to score in his last four matches after an impressive performance against Borussia Monchengladbach where he scored a hattrick.

Harry Kane (Bayern Munich)

Harry Kane has been in magnificent form for Bayern this season as he aims to win his first title with the club and his first in his career. He is the leading goal scorer in both the league and for his club with 22 goals from 25 matches while also laying on another seven assists. Kane is one of those scorers who also create chances for his teammates but will be hoping to score more consistently having netted just once in his last five matches.

FC Augsburg Vs Bayern Munich Prediction

FC Augsburg are heading into this match in excellent form but face a difficult task against Bayern who have been the best side the division this season. Considering their recent record and form over the season, we expect Bayern Munich to emerge victorious here with Harry Kane leading the charge for them.

Predicted Score: FC Augsburg 0-2 Bayern Munich
