On Saturday afternoon, Bayern Munich hosts Augsburg at the Allianz Arena in the Bundesliga as the home team looks to boost their hopes of retaining the title.
The Bavarians head into this game on the back of a 2-0 home win over PSG to book their place in the last eight of the Champions League. The result means that Bayern has won seven of their previous eight games in all competitions.

Julian Nagelsmann’s team has also recorded four wins in their last five games in the Bundesliga while scoring at least two goals in each of their previous five league matches.
Their recent league form has kept Bayern above second-place Dortmund courtesy of goal difference in what is becoming an exciting fight for the title.
Bayern is unbeaten in their last 18 home games in the German top flight, having won six of their previous eight league matches in the Bundesliga.
The visitors are currently in 13th place in the German top flight, eight points above the relegation play-off spot. Enrico Maassen’s team have been highly inconsistent lately, having won three and lost three games in the last six matches in the Bundesliga.
Last time out, Augsburg recorded a 2-1 home win over Werder Bremen.
The visitor's recent away record is woeful, as Augsburg have failed to win in their last seven league games in the Bundesliga, having suffered six defeats in the run while also losing their previous four league matches on their travels.
The key to Augsburg’s poor recent away record is poor defensive displays, as the visitors have conceded at least two goals in their last eight league games on their travels.
Forebet predicts that Bayern Munich will record a comfortable victory in a high-scoring encounter.
