Koln take on the visitors Bayern Munich in the round 34 match of German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Saturday, May 27th at RheinEnergieSTADION (Cologne).
This season, Cologne failed to qualify for European competitions like they did last year, but Baumgart's team has only taken a few steps back. As a mid-table team in the Bundesliga, the "Billy Goats" have been performing well in the final stages of the season. They have only lost 1 match in the last 8 rounds, so their 10th position is a decent overall result, considering their slow start to the season due to a congested schedule. In the previous round, Cologne drew 1-1 away against Werder Bremen, although the hosts had previously recorded two consecutive victories (5-2 against Hertha and 2-1 against Bayer Leverkusen). In their current form, they won't make it an easy last match for Bayern Munich.

Almost everyone criticized the decision to replace Nagelsmann with Tuchel after the matches against PSG in the Champions League. The team's management, represented by Salahamidzic and Kahn, made a fatal mistake for which they will be held accountable after the season. After being eliminated from the German Cup and the Champions League, Bayern Munich is at risk of losing the Bundesliga title for the first time in a long while. What's more, they handed the advantage to their rivals themselves in the previous round when a 1-0 lead at home against Leipzig turned into a 1-3 defeat in the second half. Three consecutive league victories were erased by one unsuccessful game and the loss of the lead before the final round. Cologne will be playing as guests, completely dependent on the match between Borussia Dortmund and an unmotivated Mainz.
It seems that the current state of Bayern Munich players is far from ideal. The team has given away the title with their own hands, and changes are bound to happen in the club's structure in the summer. Guests can take advantage of this situation, as they look very strong towards the end of the season. Taking all this into account, an exchange of goals in this confrontation seems like a logical outcome. Both teams perform better in attack, and the favorite is currently not in the best form. This bet has been successful in 5 out of the last 6 league matches, and there are strong grounds to place it again.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes.
