FC Koln vs Bayern Munich Prediction & Betting tips
When the Hansi Flick was still in the prime of his footballing creativity, there were no numerous changes of player as we know them today. Today’s Bayern coach has only laced up his shoes for two Bundesliga clubs, namely Bayern Munich and 1. FC Köln. The two teams will face off in a direct duel on Sunday.
A special game for Hansi Flick. However, there is not much space left for personal vanities in today’s football. This is especially true when the Bundesliga is slowly but surely turning towards the target levels. There is still a lot at stake for both teams. Cologne is still in the relegation battle, the Bavarians are once again reaching for the shell.
In the ranking of the first Bundesliga, the billy goats have started a great race to catch up. At first it looked as if Markus Gisdol was handling Effzeh in the second division, but now the Rhinelander has stabilized again. The class remains in the current constitution at 13th place and a six-point cushion is more than realistic.
Bayern, on the other hand, are striving for the greatest possible triumph. As always, the championship leader is the clear goal. In addition, the Munichers still have the triple in mind. The record champions are so strong again that despite the good shape of the billy goats, in the match between Cologne and Bayern, a forecast for an away win seems inevitable.
The roles in this game are therefore clearly distributed. Perhaps the billy goats can counteract their recently acquired home strength. Nevertheless, between Cologne and Bavaria there is basically only a tip for a sovereign success of the guests.
Effzeh has always looked very bad, especially against Munich. The gap between the two rivals who fought in the title race in the mid-1980s has widened considerably in recent years. The kick-off for the 22nd matchday in the Bundesliga between 1. FC Köln and Bayern Munich in the Rhein-Energie-Stadion will take place on February 16, 2020 at 14:30 p.m.
Cologne:
The Cologne bosses showed a knack for choosing Markus Gisdol to succeed Achim Beierlorzer. Skepticism prevailed among many experts, but Cologne residents are now competitive and should be able to relegate to the class, even if the patient is not yet completely cured.
The encourager is above all the billy goats’ home strength. Cologne have been unbeaten for five home games and have all won the last four. Jhon Cordoba is one of the guarantors for the Cologne upswing. The Colombian has scored all of his seven goals this season in the last six home games. With a goal against Bayern the attacker would have scored in six home games in a row. Klaus Allofs most recently achieved this in 1984.
If Effzeh continues to be so successful in its own stadium, next season there will be reports about billy goats in the Bundesliga tips. With Bayern, however, a real house number on the Rhine will now be a guest. Therefore, the odds of an away win between Cologne and FC Bayern are primarily interesting.
Last weekend there was already a game on the program that electrified all billy goat fans, maybe even more than the game against Bayern. The Cologne should line up for the Rhenish derby in Gladbach. However, the game had to be canceled because Sturm Sabine blew too hard. The 4-0 victory over SC Freiburg in early February was Effzeh’s last match.
Central defender Sebastiaan Bornauw cannot wait to get in the way of Robert Lewandowski and Co. However, the Belgian suggests that he and his colleagues have to be smart, but then a lot can happen.
Personally, the billy goats are looking really good these days. Thomas Kessler is currently the only actor who will not be available on Sunday. Ismail Jakobs should have recovered from his tonsillitis. If this is confirmed, Markus Gisdol should trust the team that won 4-0 against Freiburg.
Bayern Munich :
First it was said that Hansi Flick would train FC Bayern until the winter break after Niko Kovac’s release. When no adequate trainer was found, the interim coach was given confidence until the summer. In the meantime, not a little indicates that the world champion assistant coach will stay with FC Bayern from 2014 until the summer.
After all, he has led Bayern to the top of the Bundesliga and many of the best betting providers assume that the record champion will in the end raise the shell again. Bayern are still the best team in the second half of the season. In the last nine competitive games, FCB have celebrated eight victories and only had to share the points once.
Under Hansi Flick, Jerome Boateng is again an integral part of the team. On Sunday, the former international could become the talisman of the record champions, because in the Bundesliga Jerome Boateng was in a total of eight duels against 1. FC Köln and each time Boateng left the winner.
Last weekend, FC Bayern had to play on the grass for the top game against RB Leipzig. In the first section, the Munich team were slightly better. In the second, however, the bulls took over and deserved a little more victory. However, it remained at 0-0 and thus with the division of points.
The coach did not want to attach too much importance to the game against Leipzig, although Bayern could have gained a veritable lead with a win.
Hansi Flick is currently not wasting too much thought about the championship. He sticks to his motto of thinking only from game to game and currently only having 1. FC Köln in mind.
During the week, some Bavarians struggled with illnesses and injuries. Manuel Neuer, Joshua Kimmich and Alphonso Davies, however, should all be ready for action. For Lucas Hernandez and Kingsley Coman, the starting eleven should not be an issue after long injuries. Niklas Süle, Ivan Perisic and Javi Martinez are still missing due to injuries.
