Team News

FC Koln
Bayern
  • Jacob Christensen is nearing a return from a muscle tear, while back up keeper Philipp Pentke has a knee injury. Mathias Olesen is available after suspension.
  • Matthijs de Ligt is struggling with a knee injury. Joshua Kimmich is available after suspension, while Jamal Musiala picked up a thigh injury and will not be risked for this one.

Prediction

  • Shot-shy Koln have only managed to score nine goals, the fewest in the league, while Harry Kane has 17 on his own, more than last season's top Bundesliga scorer managed during the whole campaign.
  • Perennial champions Bayern won their latest title in Koln on the final day of the season, and have scored in 38 Bundesliga games in a row, last failing to find the net in September last year.
  • Hapless Koln languish one off the bottom with only a solitary win, failing to keep a clean sheet in 19 games.
  • Back Bayern to comfortably claim the three points, but Koln will push them closer than their table position might suggest with goals at both ends.
