Bayern Munich, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Bayern Munich players having failed to take any points away from their recent 3-2 away defeat at the hands of Heidenheim. Their share of possession in that meeting was 68%, while racking up 15 shots along the way, 7 of which were on target, in contrast to Heidenheim, who had 9 shots on goal with 4 on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 19 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 11 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 10 games; however, they've scored in 25 of their 28 games this season.
They have had a good run of form at The Allianz Arena recently, having won 4 out of their last 6 home games.
Goalscorer Harry Kane will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 7 goals in his last 6 league matches for Bayern Munich.
Cologne, Recent FormCologne will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 2-1 winners in their home fixture against Bochum. They achieved 56% possession in that match and had 19 strikes at goal, with 7 hitting the target, up against Bochum's tally of 10 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
Timo Schultz, their chief, will be doing some careful analysis of his defence, who have seen their goal breached 13 times in their last 6 games while somehow managing to pick up some points along the way with 8 goals scored. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but so far this season they have conceded at least one goal in 13 of their 14 games on the road.
They've been not been beaten away from home in 5 league games, but with just a single point from each of their last 5 games on the road, the Die Geißböcke travelling support will be beginning to wonder how long they'll have to wait to see their team win an away fixture again.
Davie Selke is the man of the moment at Cologne right now and the toast of their travelling support, having notched up 3 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league.
The 0-1 victory which Bayern Munich recorded last time these two sides met was no surprise to most.
The Die Geißböcke defence has struggled against Bayern in past meetings, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 20 games. In their last 3 away league games against FC Hollywood, Cologne have conceded a total of 9 goals and that's an average of 3 per game.
Cologne have lost the last 2 times they've faced Bayern in the league and have failed to win in their last 19 encounters.
Serge Gnabry will be feeling confident about scoring for Bayern ahead of this encounter with Cologne, having netted 4 goals in the past 3 league meetings between these two at The Allianz Arena.
Bayern manager Thomas Tuchel has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Noël Aséko Nkili (Ankle), Sacha Boey (Hip), Tarek Buchmann (Hamstring), Kingsley Coman (Thigh), Noussair Mazraoui (Cold), Manuel Neuer (Groin), Aleksandar Pavlović (Illness), Leroy Sané (Groin) and Bouna Sarr (Cruciate ligament) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Timo Schultz has a number of injury concerns in his Cologne squad to contend with: Justin Diehl (Hip), Florian Dietz (Shoulder), Luca Kilian (Cruciate ligament) and Mark Uth (Medial Collateral Ligament)
