Bayern come into this match at the back of a 3-0 win over Bochum in the DFB Pokal and will now be looking to further extend their lead at the top of the table. The Bavarians hold a eight point lead over second placed Dortmund and Pep Guardiola is confident that his side can produce the goods against a good Bochum side.
"It will be a very difficult game. Their quality, their team, the coach, the stadium, the fans, the pitch, it all speaks for them," Guardiola said.
"Daniel Baier is an important player for them, but they will find a way to cope without him. I am sure they will start with 11 players just like us."
"I never fear any players in particular. But I have a lot of respect for them. I know that we can lose against them. But that can only happen if we are not ready for them," he said. "We very often play against aggressive teams throughout the season, often against teams that sit deep. We have to adapt to our opponents."
Bayern hold supremacy in this fixture having faced their counterparts on Sunday 11 times since their promotion to top tier German football. During this period the Bavarians have recorded nine league victories over Augsburg.
Augsburg on the other hand along with Borussia Monchengladbach are the only side to have defeated Pep Guardiola's Bayern Munich more than once in Bundesliga.
Bayern are poised to welcome back Mario Gotze as well as loan signing Serdar Tasci back to the squad. They will however continue to be without the likes of Jerome Boateng, Franck Ribery and Javi Martinez. Xabi Alonso on the other hand will serve suspension and will thus be unavailable for selection.
Augsburg on the other hand are yet to record a league win in 2016 and will have a momentous task at hand to change that on Sunday. They however caused a lot of concerns for the defending champions in the reverse fixture when they were leading 1-0 with 15 minutes to play. However the league leaders scored twice in quick succession to record a 2-1 win.
