Team News: Bayern Munich
Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Kingsley Coman (Fitness), Dayot Upamecano (Cartilage damage), Aleksandar Pavlovic (Mononucleation), Alphonso Davies (Cruciate ligament tear), Hiroki Ito (Metatarsal fracture) and Tarek Buchmann (Shoulder injury) miss out here.
It’s our belief that Bayern might make use of a 4-2-3-1 lineup, starting Jonas Urbig, Konrad Laimer, Min-Jae Kim, Eric Dier, Raphael Guerreiro, Joshua Kimmich, Joao Palhinha, Michael Olise, Jamal Musiala, Leroy Sane and Harry Kane.
🔮
Prediction
We envisage that Augsburg should be able to put one past this Bayern Munich outfit, although one goal isn’t likely to be as many as the goals that they could concede.
Our tip is for both teams to score in a 1-2 win for Bayern Munich when all is said and done. Let’s see what happens here.
