FC Koln vs. Bayern Munich Preview (What To Know Before Betting)

FC Koln vs. Bayern Munich

FC Koln sets its sights on a significant upset as they prepare to host Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga on Friday. A victory for Bayern would propel them to the top of the table, given that current leaders Bayer Leverkusen won’t be in action until Saturday.

Despite a challenging start to the season, Koln managed to lift themselves off the bottom of the table before the international break, securing a 1-1 draw against VfL Bochum in their recent match. David Selke’s second-half goal earned the Billy Goats a point after Lukas Daschner’s 25th-minute opener, leaving the hosts frustrated despite registering 25 shots throughout the game.

For Koln, avoiding defeat in only the fourth instance out of 11 league games this season could mark a significant step in turning their campaign around. Under Steffen Baumgart’s management, they experienced two decent seasons, and the 51-year-old will be keen to steer clear of a prolonged battle against relegation this time.

What to remember – FC Koln vs. Bayern Munich

This clash features the second-bottom team against the second-placed side in the Bundesliga, with the weakest defense facing the strongest defensive record this season. Despite the potential advantage for the hosts due to the proximity to the international break, we anticipate an away victory.

Bayern recognizes the formidable challenge of surpassing Leverkusen at the top of the table in the upcoming weeks. They are unlikely to squander an opportunity to ascend above them before Xabi Alonso’s side plays on Saturday.
