Davies in the starting eleven! This is the Bayern line-up against Augsburg | OneFootball

The Bavarian derby at the Allianz Arena is just under an hour away: FC Bayern will host FC Augsburg in the 19th Bundesliga matchday. Here are the starting line-ups for the game.

After Wednesday’s 2-0 home win against Union Saint-Gilloise in the Champions League, Vincent Kompany and his team face their next home game this Saturday. Augsburg, who are fifteenth in the Bundesliga and have not won in five games, are the guests in Munich. While Augsburg could slip down to the relegation places if they lose heavily, Bayern could extend their lead at the top of the table to as many as 14 points.

Coach Kompany is currently without a number of his star players. Sacha Boey and Dayot Upamecano are out through illness. Konrad Laimer is still suffering from a torn calf muscle fibre, while his defensive colleague Josip Stanisic has a capsule injury to his ankle. Otherwise, however, the Bayern coach can largely make do with the full squad.

Urbig and Davies may start

Neuer replacement Jonas Urbig will once again start in goal, with Jonathan Tah and Minjae Kim ahead of him in central defense. Alphonso Davies will start on the left and Hiroki Ito on the right on the defensive flanks.

Aleksandar Pavlovic and Leon Goretzka form the central midfield, with Michael Olise, Lennart Karl and Luis Díaz up front to create danger and set up striker Harry Kane.
