League-leading Bayern Munich (3-0-0, 9 points) will try to extend its three-game winning streak in the 2015-2016 Bundesliga season as it faces winless team FC Augsburg (0-2-1, 1 point) at the Allianz Arena on Saturday, September 12.
Pep Guardiola's squad had expectedly overcame their first three assignments in the young German season with victories over Hamburger SV, 5-0, TSG 1899 Hoffenheim, 2-1, and the latest against Bayer 04 Leverkusen, 3-0, on August 29.
Thomas Müller again led the Bavarians with two goals in his 200th Bundesliga cap en route to the rout over Bayer Leverkusen, as reported by BBC Sport.
Müller's first goal was a left-foot shot from a pass by forward Douglas Costa at the 26th-minute, then followed it up with a penalty kick right at the hour mark off a foul against new teammate Arturo Vidal. Midfielder Arjen Robben converted another penalty kick in the 70th minute to finalize the score.
Meanwhile, Augsburg has yet to win a game after three tries against Hertha Berlin SC, Eintracht Frankfurt, and FC Ingolstadt 04.
Their most recent game against Die Schanzer was a sorry 0-1 loss with a 63rd-minute winner from Australian forward Mathew Leckie after more than an hour of back-and-forth action, via SkySports.
Markus Weinzierl's men were not able to recover from the slip as Ingolstadt kept on coming until the final whistle.
The predicted result is a 5-0 blowout for Bayern Munich. With the way Augsburg is playing as of late, the team does not stand a chance against the Bavarians' high-octane offense.
Bayern Munich starting lineup (3-4-3 formation): Neuer; Lahm, Alaba, Bernat; Alonso, Vidal, Thiago, Müller; Robben, Lewandowski, Costa
FC Augsburg starting lineup (4-1-4-1 formation): Hitz; Verhaegh, Hong, Klavan, Max; Baier; Bobadilla, Kohr, Altintop, Werner; Caiuby
