Match Overview
Giants Bayern Munich travel to the Rhein Energy Stadion in Cologne right after the international break to take on FC Koln in the German 1. Bundesliga competition. Bayern are much stronger than their opponents, and can be expected to put quite a few goals past their opponents. Koln, however, will back their knowledge of these conditions better than Bayern.
Key Highlights
It has to be noted that Koln have been ranked 18th in goals scored per match (0.8 goals). At the same time, they have also been ranked 7th in shots on target per match (4.9 shots). Not a lot of this will matter to Bayern, whose attackers will relish the challenge of having a go at the defenders of Koln. It will not be easy for Koln by any means.
Injury Report
Matthis de Ligt and Jamal Musiala will be two of the most high-profile absentees for Bayern Munich in this game whereas Philipp Pentke may not be available for selection for Koln in this game.
Prediction
Bayern Munich appear to be the downright favourites to win this game, and we expect them to win it quite comfortably. The last time that Bayern visited Koln, earlier this year but in last season, they had to fight hard for a narrow yet significant 2-1 victory. In the game prior to that, they were held to a 1-1 draw by Koln at home. It will not be easy, but Bayern should win.
