FC Köln Preview and News
Köln achieved their last Bundesliga game at the beginning of November, so surely the Billy Goats will try to change the way they perform. But doing it against Bayern Munich, especially considering the Bavarians’ current form? Now, that would be difficult.
In their last match Kwasniok’s boys faced Heidenheim away from, and got a point after a 2-2 draw. Martel and El Mala put the ball in the net for the Billy Goats. It was a proper game for Köln, but once again, a win was not achieved.
Bayern Munich Preview and News
Bayern Munich turned into a monster in Vincent Kompany’s second season at the club. Die Roten won 14 of their 16 matches in the Bundesliga so far, scoring 63 goals in the process. The team is scoring for fun, and the fans’ hopes are bigger than ever – now Bayern are aiming for a treble.
In their last game, Bayern once again showed their power. Die Roten hosted Wolfsburg at the Allianz Arena and scored eight times for a terrific 8-1 win. The Wolves had the bad luck to score two own goals, but Harry Kane, Luis Diaz, Raphael Guerreiro, Michael Olise and Leon Goretzka put their names on the scoresheet as well.
Kompany could make some tweaks in the line-up against Köln. Serge Gnabry could return in the starting eleven, while Leon Goretzka and Raphael Guerreiro could start, too.
Head-to-Head Matches
