H2H: Augsburg vs. Bayern Munich - Prediction (19.10.2019)

Preview and Teams Comparison.

FC Augsburg have lost 13 of their 16 Bundesliga meetings with FC Bayern (W2 D1) and are winless in their last eight games against them. Their last victory over Bayern came in May 2015, at the Allianz Arena (1-0). Augsburg had never conceded more than 19 goals after the first seven games of a Bundesliga season, prior to this campaign. The 31 goals they have shipped in their last nine Bundesliga outings represents a negative club record in such a timeframe this millennium.

It has been a tough start to the Bundesliga season for Augsburg (W1, D2, L4), although four of their five points have come at home. In fact, five of their last six league wins came at the WWK Arena, including one against last season’s runners-up Borussia Dortmund. However, they’ve only kept four clean sheets in their last 26 home league clashes. Augsburg’s have a higher loss percentage against Bayern (81%, 13 from 16) than they do against any other Bundesliga side. They have lost more often to Bayern than versus any other BL team (11). Goals do tend to be on the agenda when Augsburg are involved with five of their seven league matches featuring over 2.5 goals, and three over 3.5 goals. Going into this round of games, no other side has conceded more top-flight goals than Augsburg (19), while only four teams have scored less (eight). FC Augsburg have won just one of their last 12 competitive matches (D3 L8), a 2-1 home victory against Frankfurt on MD4.

Bayern Munich (W4, D2, L1) are aiming to bounce back from a shock home loss to Hoffenheim before the international break, in what was just their fifth league loss in the last 41 games when favourite. They haven’t lost back-to-back league encounters since Oct 2018. Bayern average 2.47 points per game in the Bundesliga against Augsburg – more than against any other current BL team. The 29-time German champions have scored at least three goals in 13 of the past 21 Bundesliga fixtures, even scoring 5+ on six of those occasions. In fact, eight of their last 12 league victories came by at least a three-goal margin, proving when they win, it tends to be emphatically.
