Bayern Munich - Augsburg, Picks and Tips
Bayern Munich disappointed their supporters after their performance in Spain against Villarreal, a game they lost narrowly. Still, the German champions can qualify with a win at the Allianz Arena, but until then it's Bayern Munich-Augsburg in the 29th round of the Bundesliga. Bayern were tactically dominated by Unai Emery and Villarreal in the Champions League. The Iberian side won 1-0 in the end thanks to Danjuma's 8th minute winner. The hosts scored once more through Coquelin towards the end of the first half, but the Bavarians were lucky with VAR, which cancelled out the goal for offside. In the second half, Bayern created a few chances but failed to score a goal in the end. Villarreal, on the other hand, had another bar through Gerard Moreno and a few other chances on the counterattack. Thus, Villarreal - Bayern Munich ended 1-0, the Germans' first away defeat since 2017. The German champions also failed to score a goal in a Champions League match for the first time since 2020, since a 0-0 draw at Anfield with Liverpool. The Julian Nagelsmann-coached side sit better off in the league, where they have a nine-point lead over Borussia Dortmund. Bayern won 4-1 at Freiburg last round in a controversial match in which the Bavarians had 12 players on the pitch at one point. Freiburg appealed earlier this week, and the German FA may decide that the match should be won by Freiburg "on a green table" 2-0. Pending a final decision from German officials Bayern are top of the Bundesliga with 66 points, nine more than Dortmund.
Augsburg has notched two wins in a row in the last two rounds and has climbed out of the relegation zone. In the Bayern Munich-Augsburg duel, the visitors could notch their second win in a row against their neighbours from the Bundesliga for the first time in their history. Augsburg's most recent was against Mainz at home. Weinzierl's side won 2-1 in the end thanks to goals from Gouweleeuw and Vargas. Widmer scored for the visitors in the second half. Another Augsburg win was also at home, this time against Wolfsburg: 3-0. Iago, Niederlechner and Pedersen were the three scorers for the Bavarians. Weinzierl's team last lost on 19 March, 3-2 at Stuttgart. Hahn and Gregoritsch scored for the Bavarians, while Anton, Marmoush and Tomas scored for the Bavarians. Augsburg are 13th in the Bundesliga with 32 points after 28 games. The Bavarians have a six-point lead over Bielefeld, the team in the play-off places.
