While Bayern Munich toil away in the transfer window, they must also prepare themselves for a derby match against FC Augsburg (coached by former Bayern man Sandro Wagner) for the second match of the 2025/26 Bundesliga season. Last time out, Bayern thrashed RB Leipzig 6-0, so the likelihood of Augsburg meeting the same fate is likely.
Team news

While you’re waiting for the match, do consider listening to the new branch of the podcast — Bavarian Podcast Works — Edges and Underdogs, a BuLi Action Show!
This is not your run-of-the-mill gambling show as we are putting more focus on the ins-and-outs of the actual match day’s showdowns, rather than an odds-driven format (but yes, you will get the odds as well). This podcast is for people who watch the Bundesliga intently and who want to dive into some of the big games for each match day. Through that, we will also provide some information that could help those seeking to make a wager or two.
Each week, we will highlight three matches to talk through and break down who has the edge, who might be hurting, who is susceptible to being upset, who’s getting hot, and more! This is what we have on tap for this edition of the Bavarian Podcast Works — Edges and Underdogs, a BuLi Action Show:
- A look back a tough Match Day 1, where red cards ran amok and upsets were on the menu.
- Predictions for this weekend’s matches. Where is the value? Who is going to stay hot? Are there upsets on the board this week?
