Bayern’s Jamal Musiala is likely to return to the squad and may be given some playing time, but fans should not expect him to start ahead of the likes of Michael Olisse, Serge Gnabry and Luis Diaz.

Joshua Kimmich is fit to feature and will play alongside Leon Goretzka in the center of the pitch.

Kim Min-jae is certain to be selected considering he will not be able to play in next week’s Champions League, and the centre-back could line up next to Jonathan Tarr.

Augsburg is likely to have Jannik Keitel, Keven Schlotterbeck and Cedric Zessiger start in central defense considering Noah Banks is suspended.

Forwards Fabian Rieder, Alexis Claude-Maurice and Michael Gregoritsch will look to support from midfielders Elvis Rexbekai and Han-Noah Massengo.

Bayern Munich’s expected starting lineup:
