Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Allianz Arena will host Saturday’s Bavarian derby between Bayern Munich and Augsburg. Julian Nagelsmann’s men faced no difficulties in a 4-1 win over Freiburg, with the team cementing top position in the standings. Bayern are on the right track to defend their Bundesliga title, and a win over Augsburg will see them move one step closer to meeting the goal. Robert Lewandowski will be the man to watch in the home team, while both Corentin Tolisso and Eric Choupo-Moting should miss out with injuries.
Augsburg, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team beating both Arminia Bielefeld and Wolfsburg, while losing to Stuttgart. Markus Weinzierl’s troops are not regarded as good travelers, and we do not believe that they are capable of claiming a major scalp on Matchday 29. All Felix Uduokhai, Sarenren-Bazee, and Tobias Strobl are sidelined with injuries, while Michael Gregoritsch is a major doubt following his recent positive test for COVID-19.
Highlighted Player (Robert Lewandowski):
After scoring 36 goals in 59 league games for Znicz Pruskow, Robert Lewandowski joined Lech Poznan in June, 2008. The 184-cm-tall attacker scored 18 goals in 28 appearances for the club in the 2009/2010 Ekstraklasa campaign and during the season he was on Borussia Dortmund’s radar.
The Polish forward signed a four-year deal with the Bundesliga side in June, 2010 and he quickly established himself as the team’s key attacker. Lewandowski was producing excellent performances with the Millionaires between 2010 and 2014 and it has to be noted that he won two Bundesliga trophies with the club (2010/2011, 2011/2012). He participated in the 2012/2013 Champions League final with Borussia Dortmund, but the Millionaires were beaten by fellow Bundesliga side Bayern Munich in the title game.
However, he betrayed Borussia Dortmund fans in 2014 as he signed a four-year deal with the Bundesliga giants. Lewandowski impressed in the 2016/2017 Bundesliga campaign as he scored 30 goals in 32 league games for Pep Guardiola’s troops. The Polish footballer represented his homeland at Euro 2016 in France and he scored one goal at the showpiece tournament in France.
Highlighted Team (Augsburg):
Augsburg are a German football club founded in Augsburg, Bavaria back in 1907. Die Fuggerstadter play in German Bundesliga and with 12,200 members they are regarded as the largest football club in Bavaria. Augsburg wear white shirts and they host their rivals at WWK ARENA.
The capacity of the stadium is 30,660 and it has been the home of Augsburg since 2009. Augsburg won the Schwaben Cup 13 times and it has to be noted that they were promoted to the Bundesliga for the first time in 2011.
The club qualified for the Europa League 2015/2016 group stages and thanks to a 3-1 win over Partizan in Belgrade they booked their place in the last 32. However, Liverpool proved to be a big catch for the German outfit in the Europa League knockout stages.
Die Fuggerstadter’s main rivals are TSV 1860 Munich and there have always been fireworks when the two teams take on each other.
