Full-time: Augsburg 2-3 Bayern

Bayern Munich move - momentarily at least - to within one point of leaders Bayer Leverkusen after an at times nervy win away at Augsburg. Goals from Aleksandar Pavlović, Alphonso Davies and Harry Kane told only half the tale, as Augsburg both scored and missed from the penalty spot with their captain Ermedin Demirović on target twice. Thomas Tuchel's team also lost Kingsley Coman to add to a lengthy injury list but Bayern will be ultimately relieved to have emerged victorious against their Bavarian neighbours.

Woodwork specialists

With Tel hitting the post earlier, it brought Bayern's tally for efforts against the woodwork to 13 this term, more than any other team.
82'

Bayern hit the post

Sané plays the most sumptuous of through passes for Tel to run onto. The 18-year old goes one-v-one against Dahmen and opts for a near post shot, bending the ball around the keeper. To Dahmen's relief, the effort cracks the base of the post and dribbles away to safety.
80'

Sané booked

Sané floors Pedersen away out on the left and that's a no brainer for the ref, a booking for the Bayern man.

No go Tel

Bayern spread the ball across the pitch with Sané feeding Musiala, who in turn picks out Tel on the left. The French forward's shot is blocked. That was a decent chance for Tel, who will be disappointed not to have taken full advantage.

Arne Maier in

Augsburg bring their No.10 into the game and he is immediately involved in a move that leads to a Vargas shot that flies well wide.

Bayern have daylight between themselves and Augsburg again and it's that man Harry Kane who ends his mini drought. Sané's initial pass into the mixer was blocked and although it looked as if Jamal Musiala - in an offside position - played the subsequent assist for Kane, it was, in fact, Kristijan Jakić who inadvertently played the ball for the English striker to slot in.

The home side are back in contention in this game thanks to a very tidy goal. Mbabu's flighted cross from the right is met be a ducking Ermedin Demirović header that angles towards the far post. Neuer is scrambling across his line but can't make it and the ball nestles in the corner.

Half-time: Augsburg 0-2 Bayern

Augsburg enjoyed a bright opening to this game and even had a penalty decision in their favour overturned and a goal ruled out for offside. The latter incident sparked Bayern into life and they are now in command here thanks to Aleksandar Pavlović's first Bundesliga goal and a late Alphonso Davies strike.

xGoals
The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).
As mentioned, Jess Thorup's men are looking the more threatening of the two teams and the stats point to them scoring first here. Augsburg have also had five shots to Bayern's two.

Elvis Rexhbeçaj thunders the ball across Neuer from the left and the ball nestles in the net. The WWK erupts but there's a flag up on the far side. This is very close. In the end, a review agrees that Rexhbeçaj was in an offside position.

The referee points to the spot after it initially appears De Ligt handles the ball just inside the box with Demirović in close attendance. A quick review shows that the offence took place outside the box. Yellow card for De Ligt and a free kick, no penalty. The set piece comes to nothing.

Teams out!

Both sides take to the field at the WWK Arena on a pleasant afternoon in Augsburg. Blue skies and chilly sunshine make for near-perfect conditions for this Matchday 19 encounter.

Bayern focused

Despite their injury worries, Bayern look in high spirits as they head in for one final Thomas Tuchel pre-game team-talk. The visitors daren't let the three points on offer escape them today, especially with Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen in action later.

Warm-ups over

The teams have finished their respective pre-match warm-ups and are heading towards the tunnel. Roars of "FCA, FCA" ring out inside a packed WWK Arena. The home fans would be ecstatic to see their side repeat last season's 1-0 win against Bayern at this venue. Indeed, were they to emerge victorious, it would be three home triumphs in a row for the hosts against their Bavarian neighbours.

Not so familiar faces

Interestingly, comparing today's Augsburg starting eleven to last season's home game against Bayern (1-0), only four of those who began last year's game are starting today: namely Jeffrey Gouweleeuw, Iago, Ermedin Demirović and Elvis Rexhbeçaj.

Dier in at Bayern

Eric Dier makes his first start for Bayern today while the visiting side have a plethora of players missing through injury or away on international duty. Upamecano, Kim, Kimmich, Laimer, Mazraoui, Gnabry, Sarr and Peretz, along with youngsters Buchmann and Aseko Nkili will play no part. Raphael Guerreiro will look to fill in at right back while Aleksandar Pavlović makes his fourth start of the campaign.

Jakić starts

Augsburg's winter loan signing from Eintracht Frankfurt, midfielder Kristijan Jakić, is in the host's starting line-up for the first time today - the Croatian replacing Arne Engels - in what is coach Jess Thorup's only change to the side that began last weekend's win against Borussia Mönchengladbach.

“Never again is now!”

Under this slogan, German professional football is commemorating the victims of National Socialism on and around 27 January, the date of liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp. This is the 20th year in which the DFL and the Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2 clubs have been involved in the “day of commemoration in German football” in cooperation with the “!Nie Wieder” (“!Never Again”) initiative. In light of current events, the day of commemoration around Matchdays 19 and 20 (26–28 January and 2–4 February) will focus on the topic of antisemitism.

Watch: Bayern 1-0 Union - highlights

Here's how Bayern earned victory in midweek - and closed the gap leaders Bayer Leverkusen to four points - thanks to Raphael Guerreiro's thumping finish.

Augsburg auguring well

Victory over Gladbach last Sunday was Augsburg's first victory in four league games, and their squad looks stronger for the recent addition of Kristijan Jakić on loan from Eintracht Frankfurt. Jakić is pushing for a first start in midfield, while Bayern academy graduate Niklas Dorsch is back from suspension and also looking for a place in the centre of the park.

Bayern's bare bones

Tuchel has a tough task with his team selection today after injuries and international duties have left the Bayern boss without a number of stars. Right-back is a particular headache, with Noussair Mazraoui still at the Africa Cup of Nations and both Konrad Laimer and Joshua Kimmich injured against Union. Dayot Upamecano is also sidelined, meaning Eric Dier could make his first start for the club.

Tuchel's view on Augsburg

"We want to win tomorrow and aren't concerned with what's already happened. It's just about tomorrow, and we want to deliver. Our Lazio is tomorrow in Augsburg. There's no putting a value on the importance of games."
camera-photo

Thorup's view on Bayern

"I sense we're on the right track. We'll try to control the game not just out of possession but also with the ball. We don't just want to defend. Bayern are used to playing three times a week. They're good and know exactly what they need to win games. It's incredibly important for us to play at home in front of a sell-out crowd. They're our 12th man on the pitch. Every player needs a top performance to get something out of this game after 90 minutes."
