This weekend, Bayern Munich travel to Augsburg - the only team to have beaten them in their last 47 Bundesliga matches (W37, D9) - with the hosts targeting back-to-back H2H wins across all competitions for the first time since the 1950s.
Match News and Current Form
Augsburg enjoyed an impressive start to the 2026/27 campaign with three wins in their first three competitive games, but went into the international break having earned just one point from their last two matches against Bayer Leverkusen and Werder Bremen. Despite going in front in both games, Manuel Baum’s side conceded five times across those defeats and begin this matchday second only to Eintracht Frankfurt in terms of minutes ahead in the Bundesliga this season. Preventing back-to-back defeats for the first time since March will be a priority for Die Fuggerstädter, who have a very strong record at the WWK Arena, where they have lost just once in their last 14 games (W7, D6).
With six wins from their seven competitive encounters this term (D1), Bayern already look to be on course for another successful campaign and head into this fixture following a 7-0 thrashing of Union Berlin - their joint-biggest Bundesliga victory under Vincent Kompany. Although Die Roten have only scored twice across their opening two away league games this season - their lowest such tally since 2017/18 - the Belgian takes his side to Augsburg on a 28-match unbeaten streak on the road in the Bundesliga (W21, D7). That run is rapidly approaching their club record of 33 such games on their travels without defeat between 2012 and 2014.
Head-to-Head History
Bayern have won 11 of their 15 Bundesliga away H2Hs (D1, L3), and before losing their last meeting with Augsburg, they had secured victory in each of their previous seven competitive games against them.
