Augsburg vs Bayern Munich - Bundesliga: TV channel, team news, lineups and prediction
- Bayern Munich are four points behind Bayer Leverkusen at the top of the Bundesliga
- Augsburg sit in tenth after beating Borussia Monchengladbach last weekend
- Multiple defenders absent for Thomas Tuchel's side
By Euan Burns
Bayern Munich continue their Bundesliga title defence on Sunday with a trip to mid-table Augsburg knowing they could end the weekend seven points behind current leaders Bayer Leverkusen.
The Bavarians are in the unfamiliar position of hunting a team above them and were far from their best despite beating Union Berlin at home on Wednesday. It was a bad-tempered game with little attacking action, but Bayern got the three points they desperately needed after defeat to Werder Bremen.
Augsburg are the definition of mid-table right now, stuttering along with little risk of relegation but without hope of troubling the European places. If Thomas Tuchel's side are to overhaul Leverkusen during the second half of the season, these are the games Bayern must win comfortably.

Augsburg vs Bayern Munich score prediction
This has the potential to be a tricky away game for Bayern, who have shown they are susceptible to slip-ups in this sort of match.
Augsburg will have some confidence from their 2-1 away win over Borussia Monchengladbach last weekend. That being said, Tuchel's side should have too much quality for Augsburg if they can get the basics right.
They could be a bit vulnerable at the back with key players out, but three points should still go the way of the German giants.
Prediction: Augsburg 1-3 Bayern Munich
