Allianz-Arena, Munich
Match in a sentence: With progression to the last four of the Champions League sealed, Bayern will look to pick up all three points against 14th-place Augsburg in order to keep the heat on leaders Borussia Dortmund and keep their chances of a memorable treble alive.
Breakdown: Fresh off their Champions League quarterfinal win over Marseille, Bayern Munich turn their attention to the Bundesliga, where their title aspirations have been becoming more and more realistic with each week and each win. Since losing to Bayer Leverkusen on March 3, Bayern have gone eight games without a loss in all competitions—a stretch in which they’ve outscored their opponents a combined 27-3.
Mario Gomez continues to score at an incredible pace and has 37-goals so far this season, but he’s only one third of a lethal attack that also includes Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben.
Augsburg, meanwhile, have managed to stay above the relegation places of late—a feat helped in no small part by their current six-game unbeaten streak. Midfielder Koo Ja-Cheol, acquired on loan from Wolfsburg in January, has scored in two of his last three matches and is very much Augsburg’s form player.
Essentials: Bastian Schweinsteiger is expected to start from the beginning for Bayern Munich as he continues his recovery from a leg injury that has kept him on the sidelines much of 2012.
Mario Gomez agreed a new contract, Thursday, that will keep him at Bayern until 2016, when he’ll be 30-years-old.
Bayern are the top scorers in the Bundesliga and have scored more goals in the opening 15 minutes than at any other time during the match. When they’re rolling, as they are currently, they tend to kill their opponents off early.
Key matchup: Robben started from the bench against Marseille, which likely means he’s in line for a recall against Augsburg. Perhaps one of the form players in Europe, the Dutchman will have a favourable matchup against Augsburg left-back Matthias Ostrzolek.

Hitzfeld backing Bayern Munich to pip Borussia Dortmund to Bundesliga title
The man who led both sides to Champions League glory thinks that there is very little to choose between the pair but feels that the momentum is now with the Bavarians

The hosts go into the game at Signal Iduna Park just three points clear of their Bavarian rivals at the top of the table after three draws in their last six games.
Hitzfeld, who coached both clubs, does not believe that the reigning champions are cracking but he does feel that all of the momentum is with Bayern, who have won their last five matches in all competitions.
"I'm going for a draw [on Wednesday] and if Bayern were no longer in the DFB-Pokal and the Champions League, I would have tipped Dortmund [for the title]," the Switzerland boss told Spox.com.
"They are the leaders; it is they who must be overhauled. For Bayern, it is an end game and they must not lose in Dortmund. The end of the season is fast approaching, so slip-ups are no longer acceptable.
"Dortmund has a remarkable record and are unbeaten since the sixth round of the Bundesliga. And just because you sometimes draw games, this is not a sign of nervousness.
"The Bavarians have more to lose. Another year without a championship would be a disaster for Munich.
"But due to their recent success there is enormous excitement at Bayern. They can still win three titles, which spurs them on. They are confident and focused. This will make the difference."
