FC Koln vs Bayern Munich » Prediction, Watch Live + Odds & Stats 27.05.2023

On Saturday afternoon, reigning German champions Bayern Munich travel to Koln in gameweek 34 of the Bundesliga campaign.

The Billy Goats have secured a midtable finish in the Bundesliga after winning three of their previous five games, having scored at least two goals in the three wins. The decent run has Koln in tenth place in the league standings.

Koln has a mixed recent home record in the Bundesliga. A 5-2 home win over Hertha Berlin in their last home match ended a five-game run without a league victory at the Rhein Energie Stadion.

The game against Hertha also ended a run of low-scoring games on home soil in the Bundesliga, as their previous five home games in the league had produced under 2.5 goals.

The Bundesliga title race is now out of the hands of the reigning champions, as the Bavarians are second-place in the table, two points behind arch-rivals Dortmund heading this final league game of the season.

A 3-1 home defeat against RB Leipzig last time out in the Bundesliga ended a three-game winning run in the German top-flight. The game also ended a prolific run for Bayern, as they had previously scored at least two goals in their previous three league games.

Thomas Tuchel’s team have been inconsistent on their travels in the Bundesliga, winning three and losing three of their last six league games away from home.

Koln look set to be missing forward pair Mark Uth and Stefan Tigges through injuries, while Florian Dietz is an injury doubt. Bayern Munich will be without Lucas Hernandez and Manuel Neuer due to injuries, with Josip Stanisic, Alphonse Davies and Eric Choupo-Moting are fitness doubts.

Bayern Munich are desperate for a victory and I believe that the Bavarians will pick up the win, but it may not be enough to secure the title ahead of Dortmund.
