The Bundesliga action returns to Allianz Arena on Friday after the final international break of 2024. Bayern Munich host Augsburg on matchday 11 of the Bundesliga. The hosts can continue their ascendency in the Bundesliga by going eight points clear at the top of the table with a win against Augsburg.
Die Roten have been in fine form in the Bundesliga. They had a difficult patch in the league when they dropped points against Bayer Leverkusen and Eintracht Frankfurt despite delivering dominant performances. However, they remain unbeaten in the league after 11 games.
The hosts come into the game on the back of winning the last four league games. The last win came away at St.Pauli just before the international break.
Augsburg are currently fighting for survival in the Bundesliga after the first quarter of the season. They are currently four points above the drop zone in the 13th position. The visitors come into the game in good form, losing just one of their last five league games.

Both teams to score:
Bayern Munich have been the top scorers in the Bundesliga this season. They are averaging at least three goals every game. Vincent Kompany’s men have got better defensively over the last few weeks, keeping five clean sheets in a row.
Despite Die Roten’s exploits in the final third, the last two games across all competitions have seen them clinch 1-0 victories (Benfica in UCL and St. Pauli in the Bundesliga), which could give Augsburg some hope going into Friday’s game.
Meanwhile, Augsburg have struggled for goals this season, but they still average at least one goal every game. They have scored 13 goals in 10 league games this season. On average, Augsburg have conceded two goals this season, which suggests there are defensive issues for Jess Thorup’s side.
Jamal Musiala is in incredible goal-scoring form after finding the back of the net for Germany during the international break. He scored the winners for Bayern against Benfica and St. Pauli. The young attacking midfielder could end up scoring against Augsburg. Along with Musiala, Kane is Die Roten’s biggest goalscoring threat. In front of the home fans on a Friday evening, we are backing Bayern to score goals and put their Bavarian rivals to the sword.
Pick: Over 3.5 goals: -142
