44' A late corner on the stroke of half-time comes for Bayern, courtesy of Gumny's tackle. Kimmich delivers an outswinging delivery and Oxford manages to jump the highest to head away.
41' Lewandowski equalled Gerd Muller’s record 40-goal season from 1971/72 with his goal against Freiburg last time out. The Pole has only needed 59 minutes per goal this term, which is the best rate of any player that has scored at least 10 goals in a Bundesliga campaign. As of yet, he hasn't got the better of Gikiewicz.
39' CHANCES! Alaba powers through the middle, sliding a pass to Muller, who tees up Lewandowski. From the left of goal, the Pole hits another low left-footed attempt which Gikiewicz again saves with his feet. The loose ball then breaks to Alaba, who forces an acrobatic save from Gikiewicz as the goalkeeper moves to his left to parry away another stop.
37' Augsburg started brightly, however, the game is now surely out of their reach. The hosts look like they could score on every opportunity they get to go forward and Weinzierl's men can't deal with the pace of Coman or Gnabry. Their only saving grace so far has been that Gikiewicz has pulled off a series of great saves to keep Bayern's advantage to just three.
35' Coman limps about after being caught late up top but the Frenchman quickly returns to his feet without requiring treatment. Flick seems to ask whether the Frenchman needs bringing off before Coman confirms he is fit to carry on.
31' DOUBLE SAVE! Muller sells Pedersen with a drop of the shoulder to the right of goal before finding Lewandowski inside the area. The Pole gets crowded out by Augsburg defenders and offloads to Alaba, whose low left-footed effort towards the bottom left corner gets parried away by Gikiewicz. Lewandowski pounces on the follow-up from close range, however, his left-footed strike also gets expertly saved by Gikiewicz, who reacts quickly to deny the forward once more.
29' A chaotic last few minutes carries on as Neuer sprints into the right-hand channel to head away a clearance about 35 yards from his goal. The hosts' captain has had a great half so far, denying Caligiuri's headed effort and penalty attempt.
27' Bayern have won 13 of their last 14 Bundesliga games on the final matchday – the only defeat came in 2018 to VfB Stuttgart (4-1) the last time they played at home on the final day having already wrapped up the title.
24' PENALTY TO AUGSBURG! Hernandez carelessly bundles over Niederlechner to the right of goal and referee Schmidt has no choice but to point towards the penalty spot! VAR goes back to have a check ot Caligiuri's initial pass through for the forward on the right flank before confirming the original decision can stand.
21' WIDE! Coman has Gumny turning both ways as he drives at him before slipping a delicate reverse pass into the area for the run of Alaba. The versatile Swiss midfielder races through on goal, taking a first-time left-footed effort which goes just wide of goal to the left. Gikiewicz once again comes rushing out and perhaps that did just enough to put off Alaba.
20' SAVE! The away side intricately play around Bayern's area, working it out to the right-hand channel, where Gumny crosses towards the penalty spot. Caligiuri comes inside to meet the cross, powering a header towards the top left corner. Neuer, however, rushes across to tip the effort around the post with his right hand as the German goalkeeper makes a great save.
19' Kimmich's corner hits Hernandez at the near post and the centre-back manages to get a low, left-footed effort away on the follow-up. The visitors block the attempt before doing the same for Alaba's left-footed strike as they defend with their bodies in front of Gikiewicz's goal.
17' CHANCE! Benes delivers the set-piece, curling a left-footed cross towards the near post, where Muller and Kimmich combine to clear. Bayern go long on the counter-attack, with Muller flicking a header on for Gnabry, who sees his right-footed shot from the left of goal saved by the incoming Gikiewicz with his feet.
16' Caligiuri and Pedersen attempt to link-up on the left but Kimmich races back to cover for Pavard. Augsburg then win possession back and Gumny wins their first corner of the game on the right-hand side, courtesy of a deflection off Davies.
15' Muller powers down the left flank, reaching the left of goal, where he looks to find Lewandowski at the back post. Gumny, however, intercepts in front of Gikiewicz and the away side regain possession. The hosts appeal for a penalty for handball against Gumny but referee Schmidt doesn't agree.
14' Pedersen can't deal with Coman's pace but the left-back escapes trouble as the Frenchman dribbles out of play. Despite Augsburg's good start, Flick's men are now dominating proceedings and showing their quality.
12' Coman muscles Gumny out of possession on the left-hand side before finding Muller, who arrows a low cross towards the near post. Lewandowski looks interested, however, Gikiewicz gets there first to intervene and clear up the chance.
11' Augsburg haven’t scored in the first half of any of their last six Bundesliga games, which last happened at the turn of the year (6 games back then too). They last endured a longer drought of this kind in the top flight back in 2014/15 (7 matches).
8' SAVE! Hernandez clips towards the right flank for Gnabry, who takes one touch before swinging a looping left-footed cross towards the back post. Lewandowski manages to outjump Gumny, however, the Pole heads straight into the hands of Gikiewicz from close range.
6' Davies wanders out to the left-hand channel, looking to break forward past Gumny. The right-back has different ideas, however, as he pairs up with Benes to hassle the Canadian full-back to pass out of play. Weinzierl's men have started well and don't look intimidated by the Bundesliga champions.
5' Niederlechner and Richter are operating alongside each other up top as they lead the visitors' press. They're currently shielding the passing lines fairly well, with Boateng and Hernandez giving away possession a few times already in the opening five minutes.
3' CLOSE! The visitors intercept near the halfway line and Richter sees Neuer off his line as he attempts a right-footed chip from just inside the Bayern half. Despite the long-range effort seeming impossible, Richter's shot falls just wide of the left-hand post as Neuer scrambles back to fortunately see the chance go wide. What a start that could have been for Augsburg!
2' Kimmich switches out to Coman, who feeds to Muller before the German veteran plays back to his French team-mate on the edge of the area. Kimmich thinks he has a chance to shoot, however, Coman gets in the way and, due to a lack of communication, the opportunity fades away.
1' After presentations for the departing Boateng, Alaba and Javi Martinez on the pitch, referee Markus Schmidt gets this game underway!
Bayern have won 79% of their Bundesliga games against Augsburg (same as versus Wolfsburg – 15 out of 19 versus the visitors) – among all sides the record champions have faced at least 10 times in the top flight, they only have a higher win percentage against Energie Cottbus (83%).
Weinzierl opts for four changes from the crucial win against Werder Bremen. Ruben Vargas misses out through suspension, so Caligiuri starts n the left flank. Gruezo and Benes pair up in midfield to replace Jan Moravek and Khedira, while Pedersen is preferred at left-back over Iago.
Flick makes three changes in his final game in charge of Bayern. Neuer returns in goal for Nubel, Pavard comes in at right-back for Sule and Coman gets the nod ahead of Sane on the right-hand side. Alaba and Boateng, who are both set to leave the Bavarians in the summer, also start for the hosts.
SUBS: Raphael Framberger, Lukas Petkov, Rani Khedira, Alfred Finnbogason, Michael Gregoritsch, Marek Suchy, Tomas Koubek, Fredrik Jensen, Tobias Strobl.
AUGSBURG (4-2-3-1): Rafal Gikiewicz; Robert Gumny, Jeffrey Gouweleeuw, Reece Oxford, Mads Pedersen; Laszlo Benes, Carlos Gruezo; Andre Hahn, Marco Richter, Daniel Caligiuri; Florian Niederlechner.
SUBS: Jamal Musiala, Javi Martinez, Eric Maxim-Choupo Moting, Bouna Sarr, Niklas Sule, Corentin Tolisso, Leroy Sane, Alexander Nubel, Marc Roca.
BAYERN MUNICH (4-2-3-1): Manuel Neuer; Benjamin Pavard, Jerome Boateng, Lucas Hernandez, Alphonso Davies; David Alaba, Joshua Kimmich; Serge Gnabry, Thomas Muller, Kingsley Coman; Robert Lewandowski.
Augsburg confirmed their Bundesliga safety with a 2-0 win against relegation rivals Werder Bremen last weekend. Markus Weinzierl, who guided the visitors to the Europa League knockout stage in 2016, may use this fixture as an opportunity to evaluate and prepare for the upcoming 2021/22 campaign.
This will be Hans-Dieter Flick’s last match in charge of Bayern. The Bavarians are already Bundesliga champions, having collected their ninth successive German top-flight success earlier this month. Last time out, however, Freiburg held the hosts to a 2-2 draw, courtesy of Christian Gunter’s late equaliser.
Hello and welcome to live coverage of the Bundesliga fixture between Bayern Munich and Augsburg.
