Bayern Munich will travel to face FC Augsburg in the Bundesliga this Saturday, 10 October. Kick-off at the WWK Arena is scheduled for 15:30 local time. Following their emphatic 7-0 home victory over Union Berlin three weeks ago, the record champions aim to extend their winning momentum and make it three consecutive wins.
The team under Thomas Tuchel arrives with boosted confidence. Their last five competitive matches show two wins, one draw, and two defeats (LWLDW). The attack has found its rhythm lately: alongside a Harry Kane brace in the rout of Union, Jamal Musiala and Ismael Saibari also scored, while Michael Olise netted a hat-trick. Olise is currently the team's top scorer this season with four goals in four appearances.
They face an Augsburg side still searching for their first league win of the campaign. FCA's last four outings have yielded two draws and two defeats, most recently a 2-2 friendly draw with Hertha BSC. Their probable starting lineup from the Bremen match featured familiar faces like Dahmen, Banks, and Gregoritsch.
Bayern's last starting XI in the 7-0 win over Union was: Neuer, Stanišić, Upamecano, Tah, Davies, Kimmich, Pavlović, Olise, Musiala, Díaz, Kane. Whether Tuchel sticks with this successful setup or rotates for the away trip is not yet clear.
A victory in Augsburg would be an important step for Bayern to climb the standings. The squad's focus is now entirely on preparing for the Swabian derby.
