Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany is focused on the upcoming Bundesliga match against FC Augsburg, a team that has shown strong performance under manager Manuel Baum. Reflecting on Augsburg's previous victory over Bayern last season, Kompany emphasized the importance of the match. "It’s a very important game. Our only Bundesliga loss last season came against Augsburg. It’s still a derby, and it’s an away game. Augsburg are known for their compact formation and their ability to be very dangerous on the ball," he stated.

Augsburg has been building momentum this season, although they will be facing Bayern while not at full strength. Bayern, on the other hand, is mostly healthy, with the notable exception of Jamal Musiala, who is sidelined due to a minor muscle tear in his right thigh. Kompany mentioned, "Jamal is out. Otherwise everyone else returned fit from the national teams," adding insights on Musiala's resilience in overcoming setbacks.
With a Champions League match against Viking scheduled for Tuesday, Kompany will need to make some lineup decisions, but he indicated that the starting formation for the Augsburg match could be quite standard, barring Musiala's absence.
