In the 19th round of the Bundesliga, Augsburg will face Bayern Munich away this Saturday. Approximately 4,000 Augsburg fans are expected to travel to the Bavarian capital to cheer them on. In this match, Augsburg will face the currently unbeaten league leaders, Bayern Munich.  

Bayern Munich's unbeaten record of 16 wins and 2 draws underscores the difficulty of this match. Nevertheless, Manuel Baum expressed his expectations ahead of the first away game of the second half of the season, saying, "It will be a tough game, but I hope the team will go to the away game with the mindset of causing trouble for Bayern."  

After drawing with Union Berlin and Freiburg at home this week, Manuel Baum is tackling the upcoming trip to Munich with a confident yet pragmatic attitude. When asked how to deal with what he calls a "Bayern team that always wants to win," Baum said, "We must make the most of our strengths."  

"This means the team needs to maintain a tight overall formation, actively participate in confrontations, disrupt the opponent's rhythm as much as possible, and launch a counterattack decisively at the right time. Against Bayern, the time left for players to think is very limited, and many decisions must be made based on intuition, because once the opponent gets into the game, the difficulty of the match will increase significantly."  

New signing Artur Chavez will travel with the team to Munich after completing his transfer. Manuel Baum, speaking about the player, said: "He brings tremendous energy to the team, both in the locker room and on the training ground. I am very happy that he has joined us."
