Augsburg vs Bayern Munich prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2025-04-03 18:30.
[p]Augsburg remain in the hunt for European qualification thanks to the Bundesliga’s longest active unbeaten run (W6, D5), with their 11 matches without defeat a club record in the top-flight. A disappointing 1-1 draw with strugglers Hoffenheim ended a streak of five successive clean sheets for Jess Thorup’s men, while it also prevented them from moving to within a point of the top six.[/p]
[p]Their last Bundesliga defeat came at home in mid-January against Stuttgart (1-0), and a return of just four goals scored in as many such outings since hardly inspires confidence they can take down the mighty Bayern Munich here. Augsburg may well have to rely on the division’s joint-best home defence to earn them points here, but encouragement can be found from the fact they’ve won two of the last three league H2Hs on their own turf (L1).[/p]
[p]Bayern Munich may have only scraped past relegation-threatened St Pauli 3-2 last week, but the victory preserved their six-point lead over reigning champions Bayer Leverkusen. No team has ever squandered such an advantage in a Bundesliga title race at this stage in the three-points-per-win era, but manager Vincent Kompany will have to manage workloads as this fixture is followed by their UEFA Champions League quarter-final against Inter Milan and a crunch meeting with Borussia Dortmund in Der Klassiker![/p]
[p]Bayern tend to be more vulnerable on the road, given that 11 of the 16 Bundesliga points they’ve dropped this term came in away matches. Seven of those came against sides who sit in the top-eight alongside Augsburg (W3, D2, L1), but the Rekordmeister will be confident of adding another victory here as they’ve won all four Friday-held league matches this season – including the reverse fixture – while remaining unbeaten in their last 12 such fixtures (W9, D3).[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Captain Jeffrey Gouweleeuw scored the winner against Borussia Dortmund before the international break, but taking another notable scalp will be a challenge as against no other club has he lost more Bundesliga games against than Bayern (W2, D1, L10). Leroy Sané has scored three of Bayern’s last four goals, but he’s netted just once in 11 previous H2Hs with Augsburg (W7, D1, L3).[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Five of the last six Augsburg-held Bundesliga H2Hs were decided by a one-goal margin.[/p]
