Bayern Munich will host Augsburg at the Allianz Arena on Saturday in another round of the German Bundesliga campaign.
The home side are enjoying a good run of form at the moment and are pushing for their 11th consecutive league title. They picked up a narrow but well-deserved 2-1 win over Stuttgart in their last league outing before beating Paris Saint-Germain 2-0 in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League last 16 tie.
Bayern sit atop the league table with 49 points from 23 games. They will be looking to continue their strong run this weekend and strengthen their grip at the top.
Augsburg have had mixed results since their return to action after the winter break but continue to push for the top half of the table. They beat Werder Bremen 2-1 in their last game, with Dion Brena Beljo scoring the opener early in the match before Arne Maier wrapped up the win just after the restart.
The visitors sit 13th in the league table with 27 points from 23 games and will be hopeful of adding to that tally here.
