H2H: FC Koln vs Bayern Munich – Score Prediction (Bundesliga

H2H: Koln vs Bayern Munich.

Bayern’s Robert Lewandowski has scored ten goals across the opening five Bundesliga rounds, breaking yet another record in the process. Sebastian Andersson is the only Cologne player to have scored more than once this league season – both goals came between the 20 and 25th minute. Since Hansi Flick took charge of Bayern in November 2019, the German giants have netted 4+ goals in 21 competitive matches – more than any other team in Europe’s top five leagues during that time.

FC Koln Insights.

Winless in 15 Bundesliga matches, and without a clean sheet in 16, there looks to be no respite for Cologne here as they take on the division’s highest scorers in Bayern Munich (4.4 goals scored on average per match). Having lost all but one of the last 12 H2Hs – nine by at least a two-goal margin – it looks highly unlikely Cologne will register their first home win since February. However it’s possible they could still score, considering all eight of Cologne’s Bundesliga home games since that last victory witnessed both teams find the net. Worryingly, all three this season saw Cologne concede the opening goal and trail at HT, whilst two saw them concede in both halves.

Bayern Munich Insights.

Although Bayern have won 80% of their Bundesliga games so far, eight goals conceded (1.6 on average per match) ahead of this round is more than nine other teams, and only once since 1978/79 have they conceded more goals at this stage. Still their unmatched firepower has seen them lead at HT and score in both halves in all four wins so far. Yet two 4-1 results (W1, L1) on the road this Bundesliga season shows Bayern are a neutral’s favourite, and they’ve now scored precisely four goals in three of their last five Bundesliga away games. They’ve also scored before HT in ten straight away league matches.
