Bayern Munich are set to play Koln at the Allianz Arena on Tuesday in the Bundesliga.
Bayern Munich come into this game on the back of a 1-1 draw against Marco Rose's RB Leipzig in the league. A first-half goal from Cameroon international Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting for Bayern Munich was canceled out by a second-half goal from left-back Marcel Halstenberg for RB Leipzig.
Koln, on the other hand, beat Ole Werner's Werder Bremen 7-1 in the league. Braces from striker Steffen Tigges and Tunisia international Ellyes Skhiri, goals from midfielders Linton Maina and Denis Huseinbasic and an own goal from Austrian defender Marco Friedl sealed the deal for Steffen Baumgart's Koln.

Bayern Munich vs Koln Prediction
Bayern Munich are currently - unsurprisingly - top of the league table, five points ahead of second-placed Eintracht Frankfurt. Bayern Munich's dominance of the Bundesliga has been absolute in recent years, so much so that discussions about potential title contenders have all but vanished in recent times. It is expected, even before the season begins, that Bayern Munich will end the season as domestic champions.
Having said that, there have been some troubling performances from the Bundesliga giants under the management of Julian Nagelsmann. Nagelsmann joined Bayern Munich as one of the best young coaches in the world, but the 35-year-old has not always found the going smooth.
Manuel Neuer's season-ending injury has seen them sign the experienced Yann Sommer from Borussia Monchengladbach, while it has been widely reported that Austrian midfielder Konrad Laimer will join the club in the summer from RB Leipzig.
Koln, on the other hand, are 10th in the league and have won one of their last five league games. However, that one victory saw them put seven past Werder Bremen, so it would be fair to say it is hard to know what to expect from them right now.
Are there any teams in the Bundesliga against whom Bayern Munich will not be favorites?
