Bayern Munich Team News
The draw against RB Leipzig in the last round “dissolved” Bayern’s big advantage over other competitors. This means that the home team was only 5 points ahead of Eintracht, Union Berlin, and Frankfurt, so the fight for the title becomes interesting again.
It is evident how much Bayern misses Sadio Mane, and it is clearly visible that the team from Bavaria is at least 20% weaker without him. Choupo-Moting is a forced solution, but it is clear that he is not a player who can withstand the pressure on his back in critical situations.
In the continuation of the season, Bayern will be forced to pay special attention to the defensive segment of the game because if they allow the opposing attackers to easily create scoring opportunities (as in the match against RB Leipzig), the fight for the title could be much more complicated than expected.
FC Koln Team News
The 7:1 triumph against Werder created real euphoria in the ranks of FC Koln. However, we think that is excessive, considering that the visiting team has had a lot of ups and downs this season. The unsteady form is the main reason Cologne is far from placement to any European cpmpetition, and to change that will require many changes in the rest of the season.
Werder is not the same as Bayern, so we don’t see much reason for optimism, which is present in the ranks of the guests. FC Koln is a team that panics after the first conceded goal (matches against Leverkusen, Schalke, and Freiburg), and that’s exactly what could happen to them in this game.
Especially since they cannot match the offensive line of the home team (with all due respect), we believe that they will mainly focus on defending their goal in this game. A conceded goal in the match’s early stages could create confusion in the FC Koln team, and it could very easily be a prelude to a convincing defeat.

Bayern Munich vs FC Koln Prediction
Bayern Munich must stabilize the situation, which means that victory is an absolute imperative. Against RB Leipzig, we could see a lot of defensive mistakes by Bayern players. In order not to create unnecessary risk, there must be no such mistakes in this match.
Although FC Koln scored as many as 7 goals in the last round, we believe the visitors do not have enough quality to continuously play in such a rhythm. Also, the defensive lines of Bayern and Werder are not comparable, so we believe that the FC Koln players will have an incomparably more serious task.
Although everything points to many goals, we don’t think so. We believe the home team will impose control on the field and will not allow the visitors too much freedom. Bayern is expecting an important duel in the Champions League soon, and we are sure that they will be careful not to cause new injuries, so we believe in a somewhat calmer rhythm of the match. The individual quality of the home team players should make the necessary difference.
