Augsburg host Bayern in the fifth round of the Bundesliga, with the home side aiming to challenge the German champions and potentially repeat last season’s victory in this fixture.
Augsburg have made a positive start to the campaign. They began their Bundesliga season with an away win and progressed through the early rounds of the German Cup without difficulty. Their next task is considerably tougher, with Bayern travelling to their ground.
The hosts will look to make the match competitive and find a way through the Munich side’s defence. A victory would give Augsburg three more points and another notable result against the champions.
Augsburg drew 2-2 with Hertha in their most recent friendly. Before that, they were beaten 3-2 away by Werder Bremen.
Bayern seeking response
Bayern have won all but one of their Bundesliga matches, with their only setback coming in a draw in Gelsenkirchen. That result has left them two points behind Borussia Dortmund, who have made a perfect start.
The visitors will be targeting victory and will be motivated by their previous visit to this stadium, when they left without taking any points. Bayern will be determined to avoid another disappointment and maintain pressure on their main rivals at the top of the table.
In their latest match, Bayern produced a 7-0 home victory over Union Berlin. They had previously beaten newcomers Elversberg 2-1 away from home.
