Bayern Munich vs Augsburg Prediction: Bayern Munich to win and increase points at the top before Dortmund play.

The match between Bayern Munich and Augsburg at the Allianz Arena on Saturday will be the opportunity for Bayern Munich to extend the lead at the top of the Bundesliga. The form of Borussia Dortmund after the break will be worrying for the Bavarians as the two teams are level on points. Hence, a win and nothing but a win is what Bayern Munich will be playing for. Against a reviving Augsburg side in 13th position, Bayern will get all three points. 

Bayern Munich's supremacy in the Bundesliga this season is under threat as Borussia Dortmund and Union Berlin are hot on their heels. With just goal difference separating the current Bundesliga champion in 1st position from Borussia Dortmund in 2nd position, Bayern Munich needs to win.

Bayern Munich will be hoping to get their 10th consecutive win in the Bundesliga, and this should be possible because Bayern Munich have not lost to Augsburg when playing a Bundesliga match at the Allianz Arena. The Bavarians have won 12 of the 13 matches played at home and have scored an amazing 19 goals in the last 5 Bundesliga matches played at home. This season, the Bavarians average an impressive 2.87 goals scored per game.

With Augsburg initially battling with relegation, four games without defeat have eased the pressure on the team. This in turn allowed the team to play some entertaining football resulting in the scoring of goals and the accumulation of valuable points.

The surge in form is related to when Augsburg played at home. At home, they have lost just 1 of the 5 games played and won the remaining 4. However, Augsburg have lost 4 and drawn 1 in the last 5 matches played. Away from home, Augsburg have scored goals but conceded 23.

Augsburg on average concedes 1.7 goals per game while Bayern on average scores 2.87 goals per game. Hence, we can expect over 2.5 goals and even over 3.5 goals. Also, expect a win from Bayern Munich. Bayern will likely win even with a handicap of 1 goal.
