Augsburg - Bayern München predictions

With most bookies pricing a home win at 10.70, this is one of the more lopsided matches of the season. Needless to say, Augsburg don’t stand much of a chance at coming out on top.

Bayern München fans are expecting a straightforward victory this Saturday, and who can blame them. With odds like the currently offered 1.30 for an away win, the home-field disadvantage doesn’t seem like a big obstacle in this case.

Augsburg were fighting an uphill battle against Borussia M'gladbach in the previous round, which was especially clear during half-time. However, they proceeded to equalize and then take the lead in the later stages of the game, resulting in a stunning 1:2 away win.

The Bavarians had little to prove the last time they played at home against Union Berlin, and they secured a 1:0 victory through a one-goal lead in the second half. Still, more was expected from them in such a favourable matchup, and their opponents in round 19 might be a harder nut to crack.

Augsburg’s recent Bundesliga away games were marked by a lot of concessions – 6 over the last 3 matches, to be exact. Therefore, betting on goals might be a fairly reasonable option here.

Bayern Munich are performing rather sub-par whenever they play away. For instance, they have more than 5 conceded goals spread over their most recent 3 away games.

As far as the head-to-head history goes, this is the second time we’ll be seeing these two squads clash this season. Bayern Munich decisively won that first match, and they’re still seen as the favourites despite playing as the away team.

Both rosters have been impacted by an unfortunate string of injuries, leaving them with limited options. The favoured visitors will be short Bouna Sarr, Serge Gnabry, Tarek Buchmann, Tom Ritzy Hülsmann, Daniel Peretz, while Niklas Dorsch, Reece Oxford, Raphael Framberger will not play for the home team.

Going for a -1.5 Handicap on the favourite’s score is the best way to get some value out of this match. You’ll eliminate the possibility of a draw, for one. More importantly, this way you might actually get a decent payout for backing the stronger team.
