"Once again romping their way at the top of the table, Vincent Kompany's men open this weekend's fixtures holding an 11-point buffer over the chasing pack and they have their sights set on completing a domestic silverware sweep in 2026. Extending on their remarkable purple patch as they clinched a 2-0 Champions League win at home against Royale Union earlier in the week, the former Burnley boss has seen his superstar squad receive a fearsome reputation from across the continent."
"While some in Augsburg's camp might have opened up the 2025/26 campaign with their sights set on mounting a genuine top-half charge, interim boss Manuel Baum has a major job on his hands in Bavaria. Suffering a late collapse on home soil last time out as they eventually had to settle for a 2-2 stalemate against Freiburg, Saturday's guests travel to the Allianz this weekend holding just a three-point buffer from slipping into the relegation play-off spot."
European domestic fixtures feature a stacked Saturday schedule across Premier League, Serie A, La Liga and Bundesliga. Bayern Munich host Augsburg at 14:30 BST on January 24th. Bayern won the Bundesliga last season and continue a record-breaking domestic run, holding an 11-point lead and aiming for a domestic silverware sweep in 2026. Bayern recently secured a 2-0 Champions League win over Royale Union and have registered 50 points from 18 league matches, remaining unbeaten in Bundesliga action this year. Augsburg sit close to the relegation play-off zone under interim boss Manuel Baum, having drawn 2-2 with Freiburg and carrying a small points buffer.
