After five games we know a little more about the qualities of Köln and Bayern München in this fresh Bundesliga season. Read our match preview!

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Champions League game only four days ago. That game was also an away game, at Lokomotiv Moskva. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

Bayern München form and stats

Things could have gone better for Bayern München in their Bundesliga away matches, but 3 points from 2 games is all right.

It's the second away game in a row for München, but there's smiles all around after the 2-1 victory versus Lokomotiv Moskva in the Champions League last time out. A home win before that, celebrating 5-0 vs Eintracht Frankfurt.

Again, the away team are huge favourites in this match and any other result would be an upset. We checked our Tipsway database for earlier, recent games with München given similar win odds in an away game. This check revealed 22 matches with 18 wins as expected, three draws and one surprise home win. The favourites won twelve of these games by at least two goals.

The schedule is very tough for München now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Champions League game at Salzburg is waiting in only three days.

As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Bayern München has managed 5 goals and let in 5 from 2 matches.

Head 2 Head

As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's zero Köln victories, one draw and nine Bayern München wins. Over/under statistics; six of these games ended with three goals or more, four matches with two goals or less.
