Match preview
Tuesday’s Bundesliga match between Bayern Munich and Koln is scheduled to take place at the Allianz Arena.
Bayern Munich enters this match after a 1-1 league draw with Marco Rose’s RB Leipzig. Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, a Cameroonian international, scored for Bayern Munich in the first half, but Marcel Halstenberg, a left defender for RB Leipzig, equalised in the second.
Koln, on the other side, defeated Werder Bremen of Ole Werner 7-1 in league play. Steffen Tigges and Ellyes Skhiri of Tunisia both scored twice, while midfielders Linton Maina and Denis Huseinbasic also scored, while Austrian defender Marco Friedl scored an own goal to seal the victory for Steffen Baumgart’s Koln.
Unsurprisingly, Bayern Munich presently leads the league standings, five points clear of Eintracht Frankfurt in second place. The Bundesliga has been completely dominated by Bayern Munich in recent years, to the point where debates about prospective title contenders have all but disappeared. Bayern Munich is anticipated to win the domestic championship before the season even starts.
However, under Julian Nagelsmann’s leadership, some alarming performances have come from the Bundesliga’s top teams. Although Nagelsmann, 35, joined Bayern Munich as one of the best young coaches in the world, things haven’t always been easy for him.
Due to the season-ending injury to Manuel Neuer, they have acquired the seasoned Yann Sommer from Borussia Monchengladbach, and it has been widely speculated that Austrian midfielder Konrad Laimer will join the team in the summer from RB Leipzig.
However, Koln, who is currently ranked 10th in the league, has only won one of their last five league contests. However, in that one triumph, they defeated Werder Bremen by a score of 7, thus it is fair to say that it is difficult to predict what to expect from them at the moment.
