Opposition Focus

FC Koln has not been suffering big defeats in the five Bundesliga games, but they have struggled at the other end of the pitch. They are averaging a goal every game, which is considerably poor to get victories in a competitive Bundesliga.

The hosts come into this game after coming away with a draw from Stuttgart. Koln did well in the last couple of games to get two points after losing three consecutive games at the start of the campaign. However, Koln will have to show resilience in defense to stop this marauding Bayern attack.

Anthony Modeste has made two substitute performances this season, but his experience could come handy against Die Roten on Saturday. Sebastian Andersson has been the key player in the attack for Koln as he has scored two goals in five games. Set-pieces and quick breaks will be decisive moments for Koln on Saturday to get a positive result. (Stats courtesy: Soccerway)

Score Prediction

FC Koln 0-4 Bayern Munich

Hansi Flick may rotate heavily on Saturday, but Koln is going to a poor run of form, so I am backing Die Roten to come back home with another convincing victory under their belt.
