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.
