FC Augsburg will host Bayern Munich at the WWK Arena on October 10 in matchweek five of the Bundesliga 2026-27, with the visitors unbeaten so far and Augsburg aiming to recover from a recent defeat.
Augsburg have notched two wins in their opening four league fixtures and sit fourth in the table after suffering a 2-3 loss to Werder Bremen ahead of the international break; the Fuggerstädter also outplayed Bayern in their previous meeting. Bayern, described in the preview as the Vincent Kompany-led side, began the season positively and remain unbeaten in the Bundesliga 2026-27 campaign.
Bayern arrive off a 7-0 victory over Union Berlin in their last match, a result the preview cited as evidence of their current form, and will travel to Augsburg despite that momentum being away from home.

The piece stated Gregoritsch will be looking to step up his game to give Augsburg a chance against the German giants.
Michael Olise was reported to have continued his strong form for France after delivering top performances for Bayern, with "four goals and has an assist to his name" during the international window, according to the source. The preview added that Jamal Musiala is back in training for Bayern but "is not yet confirmed to be a part of the squad," and included the club update: "Jamal is back on the pitch! 💪Jamal Musiala is making further progress towards his comeback.
