Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Bayern Munich will be aiming to bounce back from a shocking 3-2 loss to Heidenheim when they host Koln to their Allianz Arena on Matchday 29. The Bavarians are eyeing their 12th home win of the process and they will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways. Thomas Tuchel should shuffle his pack following the Champions League clash with Arsenal, but the former Chelsea boss can’t count on the like of Tarek Buchmann, Manuel Neuer, Gabriel Marusic, and Bouna Sarr for Saturday’s clash.
The Billy Goats, on the other hand, are desperate to avoid automatic relegation to 2. Bundesliga. Koln proved their worth in a 2-1 win over Bochum, but they will have a big fish to fry against Harry Kane and Co. As Bayern Munich have emerged triumphant in eight of the previous ten meetings with Koln at Allianz Arena, we predict that the visitors are going to return home with their hands empty. Eric Martel serves a one-game ban, while all Davie Selke, Luca Killian, Florian Dietz, Justin Diehl, and Mark Uth miss out with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Harry Kane):
Widely regarded as one of England’s best strikers at the moment, Harry Kane enjoyed a meteoric rise at Tottenham Hotspur, scoring 21 Premier League goals during the 2014/2015 campaign to be voted PFA Young Player of the Year.
The highly rated striker went on to surpass that achievement the following season as he helped Tottenham Hotspur mount a serious title challenge for the first time in club’s recent history and he made seamless transition to international football. Kane scored four goals in his first ten appearances for England to prove he was here to stay and at the same time established himself as a first choice striker in Roy Hodgson’s squad ahead of the Euro 2016 finals.
Kane is a modern striker, who is extremely dangerous in the opposition box, but it was some outstanding goals from distance as well as link-up play with teammates that earned him an excellent reputation in world football. Kane is expected to lead both Tottenham and England in years to come, that is if he can resist the lure of top European clubs that continue to cast admiring glances his way.
