Winner of this League Cup for the last time in 2015, Chelsea have a great opportunity to end their drought this season.

Slightly behind on their table in the league, they are currently 8th in the Premier League and concede 4 units of spending on the Big 4. The checkered results led to the dismissal of coach Enzo Maresca at the end of December.

FC Koln vs Bayern Munich - Wednesday, 14 January 2026

league: Germany - Bundesliga

For its return to the elite after an express move to the 2.Bundesliga, just long enough to win the championship title, FC Cologne has no mistake in its objective and it knows that above all it will have to secure its place at the highest level of German football. Fortunately for them, this team was able to collect quite a few points during the first months of competition before slowing down for some time. The Boucs have not won a single match since November 2 and they remain in 7 matches without success. Beaten by Bayer Leverkusen 2-0 and by Union Berlin 0-1 at the end of December, the promoted side had to settle for a point last week against Heidenheim 2-2. In the rankings, Cologne occupies 11th place with 5 lengths ahead of the red zone.

For its part, Bayern Munich is heading towards a new German champion title. The Bavarian club is indeed ahead of all the competition and it now has an 11-point lead over its first pursuer, Borussia Dortmund, before this last match of the first leg. Absolutely unshakeable, Vincent Kompany's men have won 14 of their first 16 league matches this year and they are still undefeated.

Much more convincing now, Eugen Polanski's men have found quite a bit of momentum, despite their last two losses conceded at the end of December against Wolfsburg 1-3 and against Borussia Dortmund 2-0.

Wolfsburg vs St. Pauli - Wednesday, 14 January 2026

league: Germany - Bundesliga

2026 probably couldn't start worse for this Wolfsburg team who experienced a real nightmare on Sunday when they traveled to Bayern Munich. Because after having almost held the shock during the first act, she completely exploded upon returning from the locker room to leave with a nice suitcase from the Allianz Arena 8-1. A 2nd setback in a row after the one already suffered before the winter break against Friborg 3-4. Before these two defeats, the Wolves were able to capitalize by dominating Union Berlin 3-1 and Borussia Mönchengladbach 1-3. Successes which allow them to occupy 14th place in the ranking today, with a lead of only 3 points on the red zone.

For their part, Sankt Pauli is hardly in a better position than their evening host. On the contrary, the team based in the city of Hamburg is in 16th place in this Bundesliga and is therefore a virtual barrage with its 12 points taken during its first 15 matches. That said, Alexander Blessin's players will have the opportunity to return to the top of the relegation zone during a future late match since the one scheduled against Leipzig last weekend was postponed due to weather conditions. Before that, the Pirates of the League ended 2025 with a victory against Heidenheim 2-1 and a draw against Mainz 0-0.
