Bayern Munich is anticipated to secure their second consecutive victory in the Bundesliga as they prepare to face Augsburg on Sunday.

In the opening matchday, Augsburg engaged in an exhilarating 4-4 match against Borussia Monchengladbach. Despite a 3-0 loss to RB Leipzig in the DFL-Supercup, Bayern swiftly recovered, registering a comfortable 4-0 win against Werder Bremen in the curtain-raiser of the 2023-24 Bundesliga season last Friday.

The new addition to Bayern, English striker Harry Kane, marked his initial start for the team following his approximately £100 million transfer from Tottenham Hotspur earlier this month. He immediately made an impact by assisting Leroy Sane in the initial four minutes.

While dominating the game, it took until the 74th minute for Thomas Tuchel's squad to secure their second goal, with Kane netting his debut goal for Bayern through a deflected shot within the penalty area.

Sane added another goal in the final moments of regular time, and Mathys Tel extended their triumph further by scoring from the bench during injury time. Tuchel envisions a comparably effortless victory against their local rivals at the Allianz Arena on Sunday.

Augsburg, despite also tallying four goals on the opening matchday, was unable to secure a win as Gladbach snatched a point with a goal in the seventh minute of injury time.

Enrico Maassen, the manager of Augsburg, and his players experienced mixed emotions regarding the outcome. They managed to equalize after being two goals behind twice, and Ruben Vargas's 76th-minute goal propelled them into the lead for the first time during the match. However, Tomas Cvancara calmly converted a penalty under significant pressure.

As per his usual approach since becoming the manager last summer, Maassen employed an aggressively oriented 4-2-2-2 formation that featured four forward players. This included newcomer Sven Michel, who leveled the score just before halftime.

Borussia Monchengladbach's goals from Japanese centre-back Ko Itakura and French midfielder Nathan Ngoumou, as well as a brace from Czech attacker Tomas Cvancara, were cancelled out by Augsburg's goals from Kosovan midfielder Elvis Rexhbecaj, centre-back Maximilian Bauer, attacker Sven Michel, and Swiss winger Ruben Vargas.

During the current transfer window, Bayern Munich has made significant changes to its team composition. Sadio Mane, a Senegalese forward, was signed last summer after Bayern Munich let go of Robert Lewandowski to Barcelona; while Bayern Munich did sign a star to replace a star, Mane was unable to replicate Lewandowski's goal production.

Mane has left the club; the 31-year-old has joined Al Nassr. Bayern Munich recently traded French defender Lucas Hernandez to PSG and midfielder Marcel Sabitzer to Borussia Dortmund. South Korean centre-back Kim Min-jae arrived from Napoli for €50 million, while Kane is the club's biggest signing, costing €100 million.

Kim and Kane are anticipated to propel Bayern Munich into the Champions League picture.

Augsburg, on the other hand, has signed Mergim Berisha on a permanent contract for €4 million; the 25-year-old spent last season on loan at the club. Ricardo Pepi, an American striker, was anticipated to contribute significantly when he joined Augsburg in 2022, but the 20-year-old is now at PSV Eindhoven.
