Bayern Munich return to Bundesliga action on Friday, as they will be chasing for maximum points, which would see them move to the top of the standings. FC Köln will be the hosts, as they look for just a second victory of the season.
Bundesliga Preview
It has been a thrilling start to the Bundesliga season this term, and there will be an interesting battle for the title. Bayern Munich will already be aware that they will be in a race for the championship this term, as they sit two points behind Bayer Leverkusen at this early stage. However, a win on Friday would send them back to the summit before their rivals have the chance to respond.
FC Köln have made a poor start to the 2023-24 season, as they have recorded just one victory in their opening eleven matches. That form sees them sit second bottom in the current standings. The German side have gone three without a win, but they have been held to draws in each of their last two.
The hosts will be extremely disappointed by their start to the season, as they have accumulated just six points from their eleven matches. That marks their second-worst start to a Bundesliga season in their history. In fact, their only win this term was achieved on matchday eight against Borussia Monchengladbach.
In contrast, Bayern Munich are enjoying their best start to a Bundesliga season since the 2015-16 campaign. Their record at present sees them boast the best record of any side sitting second in the standings after eleven rounds of matches. Their attacking record has been stunning this term, as they have already netted 42 goals in the Bundesliga.
FC Köln vs Bayern Munich Head to Head
Köln will be huge outsiders for victory this weekend based on their record against Bayern. The hosts have lost each of their last nine home matches against the reigning champions. Meanwhile, Bayern have never lost in 52 previous attempts against a side sitting in the Bundesliga relegation spots.
FC Köln vs Bayern Munich Prediction
The writing appears to be on the wall for Köln this weekend. They have a poor overall record in this fixture, while Bayern don’t lose against sides in the bottom two spots. Therefore, we fully expect the reigning champions to move to the summit with a big-scoring success on the road.
