Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Following a 1-1 draw with Leipzig, Bayern Munich will look to record their first win of the year when they take on Koln on Tuesday evening. The reigning champions are hit by Manuel Neuer and Sadio Mane’s injuries, but they are still seen as hot favourites to beat Koln at Allianz Arena. Thomas Muller is pushing for a start, while both Lucas Hernandez and Bouna Sarr remain in the recovery room.
The Billy Goats, on the other hand, produced their best display of the season at the weekend, with the team rolling over Werder Bremen 7-1 on home soil. Koln, though, are not regarded as good travellers, and given their four-match losing run at Allianz Arena, we predict that the league leaders are going to pick up all three points from the match. The likes of Andersson, Dietz, Uth, Thielmann, Kilian, Pedersen, and Skhiri should miss out with injuries, speaking of the away side.
