Bayern Munich v Augsburg: Prediction, Tips and Odds

Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich did the double over neighbours Augsburg last season and will expect to see off Jess Thorup's side when they meet at the Allianz Arena.

Bayern went on a run of five straight wins without conceding a goal going into the break, though Augsburg had also strung together some useful results to haul themselves clear of immediate relegation peril.

Bayern Munich to win to nil - 10/11

Unbeaten in the league, scoring goals for fun and now keeping clean sheets as well, little wonder Vincent Kompany's mighty Bayern Munich are 1/8 to see off Bavarian rivals Augsburg at the Allianz Arena.

Bayern's UEFA Champions League mis-steps at Aston Villa and Barcelona seem like a thing of the past as they prepare to take on their struggling near neighbours on the back of a five-match winning streak.

They are the only unbeaten side in the German top division after 10 rounds and are the top scorers.

Indeed, Harry Kane's 11-goal personal haul is only two fewer than Augsburg have managed in total.

Augsburg have at least taken five points from their last three matches - an impressive 2-1 win over Dortmund followed by draws with Wolfsburg and Hoffenheim - to haul themselves closer to mid-table.

But you have to worry for a team who have scored one goal and amassed just one point in four away games so far.

They have lost seven of their last eight away league games, conceding at least two goals in each of those losses.

If they are shipping two or more at places like Heidenheim and Freiburg then you have to think they are going to struggle to keep out a Bayern side who are unbeaten since March at home, where they have scored 20 goals in six matches this season.

Bayern have played seven games since the last international break, winning six of them, all with clean sheets.

Last time out, in a 1-0 win at St Pauli, they restricted their opponents to just three shots, none of which were on target, and that was away.

Leon Goretzka Over 0.5 Shots on Target - 8/11

Injuries to both Aleksandr Pavlovic and Joao Palhinha mean Leon Goretzka has been restored to the Bayern midfield alongside Joshua Kimmich.

The Germany international made his first Bundesliga start of the season in the 1-0 win at St Pauli, firing off one shot in his 82 minutes on the pitch.

A player who managed six goals last season and has one to his name this term - scoring in the 9-2 rout of Dinamo Zagreb in the UEFA Champions League - will always be a threat.

A box-to-box midfielder, he will get a licence to support the forwards under Kompany and at home against a struggling opponent he can contribute to the shot count.

Over 10 Corners - 1/1

Bayern Munich are averaging seven corners per league game this season with Augsburg averaging an impressive six.

Even allowing for the fact that Augsburg may not contribute too many corners on Friday, over 10 at 1/1 looks a perfectly good call.

Augsburg's matches average 11.2 corners this season, the second highest total in the German top flight.
