Augsburg vs Bayern: will it be easy for the champion to get 3 points?

The twelfth round of the German Football Championship will start with the local Bavarian derby, in which Augsburg will compete with Bayern. The Reds are believed to be much fancied team. Let us recall that Bayern is the leader among other teams at the Championship. Needless to say, Nagelsmann’s team wants not just to maintain first place but also to stretch their lead from the nearest competitor.

Augsburg tumbled out of the DFB-Pokal after defeat from Bochum. Then the team held two ties within the German Bundesliga, beat Stuttgart 4:1, and lost 0:1 to Wolfsburg. Before the 12th round, Augsburg found itself in a sticky situation: with its nine scores, it fell one point behind Stuttgart and occupied 16th place. This season, Augsburg played five home matches, ending up with two victories and two defeats, and ten given-away goals (two goals per game on average). Despite such underperformance, Markus Weinzierl still holds the post of head coach.

Bayern, like Augsburg, tumbled out of the Bundesliga. Except, they did it spectacularly, losing 0:5 to Borussia Mönchengladbach. After that, the team had three successful matches and three wins over Union and Freiburg, and 5:2 over Benfica in the Champions League. Recently, the schedule was not that hot, so it is unlikely that the players from the national squads are all exhausted after matches in their teams.

We expect some solid performance in the upcoming game. Bayern has the best statistics in Division, +4=1-0, goal difference is 18:6, and 3.6 goals per game on average. 

Since the local Bavarian derby regularly shows excellent results, we hope the upcoming meeting will not disappoint us. "Bayern" under Nagelsmann is very prolific: a total over (2,5) was reached in 13 consecutive matches, only in the first round match against Monchengladbach did it fail. We won't be surprised if Augsburg can score as well. The following betting options are available:

• W2 + Total Over (3,5) for 1.87
• Handicap 2 (-3) for 3.04
• Correct score 1:3 for 10.00
