Overview

  • Bayern Munich will clinch the Bundesliga title three matchdays early if they beat Mainz and Augsburg fails to win against Leverkusen.
  • Augsburg coach Jess Thorup emphasizes his focus on earning points for his team rather than aiding Bayern's title pursuit.
  • Key absences for Augsburg include Noahkai Banks (muscle injury) and Arne Maier (suspension), while several players face suspension risks due to yellow card accumulation.
  • Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz, described as a game-changing X-factor by Thorup, returns to action and could heavily influence the match.
  • Augsburg, currently four points from a European spot, remains determined to maximize their points in the season’s final four games.
