Augsburg 1 – Bayern Munich 0: Visitors unable to get win at the WWK Arena

<div class="bialty-container"><p>Next Saturday at 9:00pm GMT, on matchday 8 of the <a href="https://www.888fixtures.com/football/laliga" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c="1146" title="LaLiga Santander">LaLiga</a>, we will see <a href="https://www.888fixtures.com/clubs/getafe" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c="1185" title="Getafe">Getafe</a> play RMA at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez.</p>
<p>RMA go to the Coliseum Alfonso Perez with Champion&rsquo;s League dreams for next season very much alive. They currently sit in second as they take on fourteenth placed Getafe.</p>
<h4><b>This season&rsquo;s LaLiga campaign, has so far seen Getafe achieve seven points</b></h4>
<p></p><p>If Getafe&rsquo;s season is to maintain on track, they must put their recent poor form to an end in this game. In their last two outings, they lost 2-3 at Real Valladolid and 0-2 at <a href="https://www.888fixtures.com/clubs/osasuna" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c="1341" title="Osasuna">Osasuna</a>.</p>
<p>Also, Quique knows that a run of four losses in seven games for his Getafe side, is going to be a tough run of form to change. However that is exactly what he must try to deliver. With seven points (2W, 4L and 1D), they are established in fourteenth position in the League having won two matches, drawn one game, and lost four meetings.</p>
<p>When Getafe host RMA, they will do so on the back of one win, one draw, and two defeat on their own ground.</p>
<p>Victory for Getafe would take their points tally to 10 so far this season. </p>

<p>Getafe are likely to be missing four of their key players when they start Saturday&rsquo;s game, due to injury and illness.</p>
<h4><b>With the LaLiga season well into its stride, R Madrid have managed to gain 19 points</b></h4>
<p></p><p>RMA&rsquo;s pride is now at stake, as they will not wish for another successive poor result. They recently drew 1-1 away to Osasuna, which followed the loss to <a href="https://www.888fixtures.com/clubs/r-madrid" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c="1188" title="Atletico Madrid">Atletico Madrid</a>. They will be eager to improve in this next fixture.</p>
<p>Also, RMA keep finding ways to win, having secured six victories in their last seven games is astonishing this season, which has contributed significantly to their rise up the table. Their position is second in the League and they have 19 points, that is, 6W, 0L and 1D having won six matches and drawn one game.</p>
<p>Playing away from home, RMA have won four meetings.</p>
<p>A win in this fixture, would take R Madrid&rsquo;s points from 19 to 22, so far this season. </p>

<p>It is likely that three key players will miss Saturday&rsquo;s fixture, which is something of a concern for Carlo Ancelotti and his RMA team.</p>
<h4><b>Getafe v R Madrid &ndash; Head-to-Heads</b>.</h4>
<p>Regarding their historical duels the recent form between these two sides has seen RMA with a greater number of wins. In the last 35 meetings, they have enjoyed 25 victories, to Getafe&rsquo;s six victories. Also, RMA have won thirteen out of 20 matches when visiting Getafe. The last time they played each other in this competition was April 2022 and the score line ended up with a 2-0 win for Deep Blues. </p>
<p> five goals</p>

<p>Oscar Garcia will be forced to make changes to the plans for his squad, as injury or illness has depleted him of six of his Reims players.</p>
<h4><b>Paris Saint-Germain will seek to retain their position at the top of the table, this match is no exception</b></h4>
<p></p><p>With a win in their previous game, (2-1) against Nice, PSG will likely be in a positive frame of mind.</p>

<p><b>A solid defensive team</b></p>
<p>PSG have a solid defence, with only five goals conceded in their previous matches. PSG have one of the best goal scoring records so far this season, with 28 so far (26 from open play and two penalties). This season, their stand-out attacking players have been Kylian Mbappe (8), Neymar (8), and Lionel Messi (5).</p>

<p>Injury and illness have depleted Christophe Galtier&rsquo;s PSG and they will likely be missing four key personnel for Saturday&rsquo;s match.</p>
<h4><b>Reims v Paris Saint-Germain &ndash; Head-to-Head</b>.</h4>
<p>Regarding their historical duels the recent form between these two sides has seen PSG with a greater number of wins. In the last 16 meetings, they have enjoyed 11 victories, to Reims&rsquo;s three victories. Also, PSG are unbeaten in their eleven of the last 16 matches played against Reims. The last time they played each other in this competition Reims delivered a 4-0 home win.</p>

<p>Ajaccio, currently sitting in twentieth place, face the formidable task of an away trip to Marseille, who currently sit second in the League.</p>
<h4><b>It&rsquo;s 23 points so far for Olympique de Marseille this season, going into this game</b></h4>
<p></p><p>Marseille will be eager to return to some kind of winning form, having lost their last game to <a href="https://www.888fixtures.com/clubs/angers-sco" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c="1206" title="Angers SCO">Angers SCO</a>, which itself followed a draw to <a href="https://www.888fixtures.com/clubs/rennes" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c="1365" title="Rennes">Rennes</a>, this fixture could be the opportunity.</p>
<p>Also, Marseille keep finding ways to win, having secured six victories in their last seven games is astonishing this season, which is responsible for their Champion&rsquo;s League qualification position.

<p>When Marseille host Ajaccio, they will do so on the back of four victories and one draw on their own ground.</p>
<p>Olympique de Marseille will have 26 points if they manage to secure a victory. </p>
<p><b>Good atacking and defensive team</b></p>
<p>Defence begins with attack and Marseille have defended well as a team, borne out by conceding five goals in their previous matches.

Ajaccio will see this as an opportunity to get their season back on track.</p>
<p>Also, the relegation zone is not where Ajaccio want to be at the end of the season, but that is where they are heading, unless they can get out of their losing habit. L&rsquo;ours have lost six of their last seven meetings in the Ligue 1. Now they have 1 matches won, 7 games lost and 1 duels drawn; that&rsquo;s why they currently sit in twentieth place, with a total of four points having won one game, drawn one game, and lost seven fixtures.</p>
<p>Playing away from home, Ajaccio have won one game and lost three matches.</p>

<p></p><p>It was a humbling defeat at the hands of <a href="https://www.888fixtures.com/clubs/real-sociedad" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c="1174" title="Real Sociedad">Real Sociedad</a> for Michel&rsquo;s men in their last match, they will be hoping to get something out of this game for sure.</p>

<h4><b>Atletico Madrid v Girona &ndash; Head-to-Head</b>.</h4>

<p>It&rsquo;s a clash of seventh vs tenth, as Newcastle host Brentford at St James&rsquo; Park.</p>
<h4><b>With the Premier League season well into its stride, Newcastle United have managed to gain 11 points</b></h4>
<p></p><p>Newcastle need a positive result from this game, if they are to move their season forward. Their last match resulted in a loss to <a href="https://www.888fixtures.com/clubs/fulham" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c="1289" title="Fulham">Fulham</a>, before that they drew away to <a href="https://www.888fixtures.com/clubs/bournemouth" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c="1235" title="Bournemouth">Bournemouth</a>, 1-1.</p>
<p>Also, with five draws in seven matches, Manager Eddie Howe has plenty to ponder, going into the next match, not least of which is how to get the wins he needs. Now they have 2 matches won, 1 games lost and 5 duels drawn; that&rsquo;s why they currently sit in seventh place, with a total of 11 points having won two games, drawn five meetings, and lost one game.</p>
<p>Newcastle have won one game and drawn three games of their four League matches at home this season.</p>
<p>Victory for Newcastle United would take their points tally to 14 so far this season. </p>
<p><b>Good Attacking Performance</b></p>
<p> They have a good scoring rate of 12 goals (11 from open play and one penalty). This season, their stand-out attacking players have been Callum Wilson (3), Miguel Almiron (3), and Alexander Isak (2). Newcastle have conceded eight goals.</p>

<p>Newcastle are no strangers this season to illness and injury and Eddie Howe is concerned that Saturday&rsquo;s fixture could see him without six of his key players.</p>
<h4><b>Brentford have 10 points to their name, going into this tie</b></h4>
<p></p><p>Losing home to <a href="https://www.888fixtures.com/clubs/arsenal" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c="1209" title="Arsenal">Arsenal</a> 0-3, which followed them drawing away to Bournemouth 0-0, this is a worrying run of form for Brentford Manager Thomas Frank, who goes into this fixture, knowing that only a positive result will be good enough.</p>
<p>Also, with three draws in five meetings, Brentford need to develop a strategy for getting over the line in games. They currently stand tenth in the League, with 10 points for a total of 2 wins, 2 losses and 4 draws having won two meetings, drawn four matches, and lost two meetings.</p>
<p>Brentford will travel to Newcastle with a win record on the road that is quite unremarkable, with three darts and one defeats.</p>
<p>Brentford will have 13 points if they manage to secure a victory. </p>
<p><b>Good Attacking Performance</b></p>
<p> Brentford will be pleased to have a good goal scoring record so far this season (15). This is largely down to the efforts of their stand-out attackers &ndash; Ivan Toney (5), Pelenda Da Silva (2), and Yoane Wissa (2). Teams that leak goals on a consistent basis, don&rsquo;t tend to win anything, such is the situation with Brentford so far, having conceded 12 goals in their last fixtures so far.</p>

<p>Thomas Frank will be forced to make changes to the plans for his squad, as injury or illness has depleted him of five of his Brentford players.</p>
<h4><b>Newcastle United v Brentford &ndash; Head-to-Heads</b>.</h4>
<p>Regarding their historical duels Newcastle and Brentford have faced each other five times in the past, with the balance of wins sitting in Newcastle&rsquo;s favour (3 &ndash; 1).
