Bayern Munich will host Koln at the Allianz Arena on Saturday in another round of the 2023-24 Bundesliga campaign.
The home side have endured a turbulent campaign and now look set to miss out on the Bundesliga title for the first time in over a decade. They suffered a shock 3-2 defeat to Heidenheim in their last match heading into the break two goals up before a lapse in concentration in the second half saw their opponents come from behind to clinch maximum points.
Bayern Munich sit second in the Bundesliga standings with 60 points. They will be looking to shake off their latest results and return to winning ways this weekend.
Koln have struggled to pick up points in the league this season and currently find themselves battling for survival in the final stretch of the campaign. They returned to winning ways last time out with a 2-1 victory over Bochum, falling behind late in the first half before Steffen Tigges and Luca Waldschmidt got on the scoresheet in additional time to hand the Billy Goats a much-needed victory.
The visitors sit 17th in the league table with 22 points from 28 games and will be looking to add to that tally this Saturday.
