Bayern vs Cologne: Preview, Free Tip & Prediction

21.08.2021 15:00

Bayern is back on the Bundesliga turf this Sunday when they welcome the visiting team from Cologne at home to the Alianz Arena.

Background information, news and team form

Bayern returns to their home Alianz Arena after their triumph in the German Super Cup, when they managed to beat Dortmund 3-1, making it the 9th time Bayern have won the trophy. However, despite the addition of another trophy to the cabinet, the Munich club's form is not quite optimal. After the poor form in the preparation, Bayern carried this form into the opening Bundesliga match, when the Bavarian side only managed to draw 1-1 at Monchengladbach after goals from Plea and Lewandowski. The Munich club will therefore be looking to improve their form and build on last season's match when they managed to beat the Cologne Goats 5-1. 

Unlike Bayern at home, the Cologne side managed to win their first match against Hertha. Although Hertha went ahead in the 6th minute, French striker Modeste managed to equalize before the end of the half, and in the second half Austrian Florian Kainz turned the game around with two goals within three minutes. Cologne is also destined to be relegated to the second league this season by many experts because last season not much was missing and Cologne could have been in the relegation place instead of Bremen. However, after winning their last match against a hopeless Schalke, the Goats managed to win and keep their relegation barrage, in which they beat second-placed Kiel and thus retained the Bundesliga for this season. 

 

 

Betdoin's view of the match 

Bayern enters this match as a clear favourite at odds of 1.13. The goal lines are set very high for this match and it is no wonder. Lewandowski will be available and Bayern are playing at home in the Allianz Arena. Our clever Bedoin algorithm recommends a bet on both to score in this match. Cologne are an attacking team who score a lot of goals, but they are not afraid to play offensively and go forward, which is why we are choosing this bet this time.

 

Absentees and estimated line-ups 

Bayern will continue to miss French defensive duo Benjamin Pavard and Lucaz Hernandez. Pavard has ankle problems and Hernandez will miss out due to a knee injury. Frenchman Coeman's start is in doubt after having to make a half-time substitution in the Super Cup against Dortmund. Manuel Neuer has missed several training sessions this week due to an ankle injury, so there is a chance for substitute goalkeeper Ulreich. The visitors will miss Jannes Horn and Timo Hubers because of hip and knee problems and goalkeeper Marvin Schwabe because of a hand injury.

Bayern - estimated line-up:

Ulreich - Stanisic, Upamecano, Sule, Davies - Kimmich, Goretzka - Sane, Muller, Gnabry - Lewandowski

Cologne - estimated line-up:

T Horn - Schmitz, Mere, Czichos, Hector - Skhiri - Thielmann, Ljubicic, Uth, Kainz - Modeste
