Augsburg preview: The joy of new beginnings
Augsburg enter this clash as clear underdogs, but home advantage has been their biggest weapon in recent seasons. They stunned Bayern with a 1-0 win at this ground in September 2022 and will aim to replicate that dogged performance.
They line up with a new manager, Sandro Wagner, who had affiliation with Bayern during his playing days, and he has passed the opening tests with flying colours after his side earned a 2-0 victory over fourth-tier side Hallescher in the DFB-Pokal clash, and 3-1 win away at Freiburg on the opening matchday.
However, the hosts will have a number of players unavailable, with Samuel Essende set to continue his suspension after a red card in the 4-0 defeat against Stuttgart last season, Alexis Claude is sidelined with injury, while the duo of Dimitrios Giannoulis and Maximilian Bauer are doubtful with knocks.
Predicted lineup: Dahmen (GK), Giannoulis, Schlotterbeck, Gouweleeuw, Matsima, Komur, Massengo, Jakic, Wolf, Tietz & Mounie

Bayern Munich Preview: A hot start to the season
Bayern Munich travel to Augsburg in a confident mood after another powerful attacking display in their opening fixtures.
With Harry Kane leading the line and scoring six goals across three matches in the Super Cup, DFB Pokal and Bundesliga opener, the Bavarians have a lot of firepower.
Kompany’s men thrashed Leipzig 6-0 in their opening league game last weekend, a statement of intent for the campaign.
The triumph was sandwiched by a 2-1 win over Stuttgart in the Super Cup and a 3-2 victory over Wehen in the DFB Pokal.
The visitors are also dealing with a host of injuries, with the likes of Jamal Musiala and Alphonso Davies not expected back until later this year.
Predicted lineup: Neuer (GK), Laimer, Upamecano, Tah, Stanisic, Kimmich, Goretzka, Gnabry, Olise, Diaz & Kane

Player to Watch: Harry Kane
The England captain has started from where he stopped last season, already bagging a hat trick and a brace in this campaign.
The striker has scored in every game played so far, and he is likely going to extend this streak, with creators such as Michael Olise and Luiz Diaz around him.
