Bayern Munich vs Augsburg

The German record champions have hit a rich vein of form and will hope to maintain their streak ahead of next Wednesday's top-of-the-table clash with leaders Dortmund.Bayern coach Jupp Heynckes will welcome Bastian Schweinsteiger back into his starting XI after the midfielder missed out on the 2-0 win against Marseille in midweek. Anatoliy Tymoshchuk is tipped to partner the vice-captain in defensive midfield as Luiz Gustavo is banned for accumulated bookings.However, the trainer could opt to use Toni Kroos in a holding role as well. Aside from Gustavo, Bayern will be without long-term casualty Daniel van Buyten, as well as Breno, who is not expected to play another game for the Munich side.Augsburg are expected to use the same line-up as in last week's 2-1 win over Koln, with Nando Rafael retaining his spot in the centre of attack. Torsten Oehrl remains sidelined with a muscular injury, and will join Marcel de Jong, Dawda Bah and Akaki Gogia in the stands.
