FC Koln vs Bayern Munich Prediction & Betting Tips (29 October)

After winning the 2.Bundesliga title last season, FC Cologne demonstrates that it has the level to play at the highest level this season. This team has in fact quickly distanced itself from the red zone and is even still in contact with the top 6 in order to, why not, try to join the fight for a possible European place in the second half of the season. Victorious against Hoffenheim 0-1 before the international break, the promoted side were then held to a draw by Augsburg 1-1 before preparing for a difficult trip against Borussia Dortmund next weekend . In the first round of this German Cup, the Boucs were forced to fight to get rid of Regensburg 1-2.

Opposite, Bayern Munich has indeed started steamroller mode at the start of the season. Whether in the Champions League where Vincent Kompany's band won their first 3 matches including the one against Club Bruges last week 4-0 or in the Bundesliga where they have achieved a faultless performance so far before their planned trip to face the red lantern, Borussia Mönchengladbach, next weekend. Before this meeting, the Bavarians were able to easily defeat Eintracht Frankfurt 0-3 before winning the Klassiker 2-1 against BVB. It should be noted, however, that the Munich team had to work hard to dismiss Wehen in the first match last August 2-3.

Among the Boucs, the defender unused this season Kilian, the young defensive executive van den Berg and the replacement attacker Niang will not be available to their coach for this meeting which promises to be delicate. On the other hand, the other usual holders of this training should be able to hold their place. Among them, we find the striker Thielmann (2 goals in the Bundesliga), the very good Polish midfielder Kaminski (3 goals) or the winger Mala (2 goals) who are the best offensive cartridges of this team. On the Bayern side, the playmaker Musiala (fractured fibula), the Japanese central defender Ito, the starting left back Alphonso Davies and the international Croatian Stanisic (right side) is still not fit to play. The precious Gnabry (3 goals, 3 assists) also joined the infirmary more recently.

Finally, the titular goalkeeper Neuer is suspended for this poster. However, the Munich group remains well armed with in particular the excellent Harry Kane who is a hit at the start of the season (12 goals in the Bundesliga, 5 goals in C1). French international Olise (4 goals, 2 assists in the league; 1 goal, 2 assists in C1) and Colombian rookie Luis Diaz (5 goals, 3 assists) are also having a good start to the season. Note that Vincent Kompany could carry out a nice squad review during this Cup match.
