Bayern Munich will host Koln at home-stadium on Saturday evening. It’s the Bundesliga’s 23rd round.
Muller and Gnabry are back in action
Hans Flick was not happy with the injuries. Many players got injured in the last few weeks and German coach wanted to have a full squad. Bayern Munich played with different formations against Lazio and scored four goals. Scoring four goals in Italy boost the confidence of Bayern’s players.
Muller had a covid and could not help the team since the CWC. As you may know, Bayern Munich won the final game of CWC and lifted a trophy. Muller played a big role in Bayern’s success during the semi-final. Unfortunately to Bayern fans, he got tested positive for covid before the final match. Since the last days of January, Muller was in self-isolation. Two days ago he tested twice for covid and both results were negative. Along with Muller, Bayern will be able to feature Sergen. Gnabry was out and could not help the team in the Champions League. Gnabry will be ready to play against Koln but Hasn won’t be featured in this game. As German experts believe, Hans has to give more time for recovery to Serge and Thomas.
Koln is not easy opponent
Koln lost the last two games in the Bundesliga. Although, Hans Flick was a bit afraid of Koln’s statistics. If we take a loot at Koln’s results, we will see positive results against big clubs. For instance, Koln won away games against Dortmund (2-1), Gladbach (2-1) and got a goalless draw against Leipzig (0-0). All these three games were against the biggest clubs of Germany, so Hans Flick thinks that Koln is not an easy opponent. Koln has a bad run and it’s true. Team could not score more than two goals in the last three games. At the same time, Robert Lewandowski became a scoring machine in Bundesliga and Champions League.
Bayern Munich won 52 home points from possible 60. In the last games, Bayern Munich is undefeated at home-stadium, so there is a big hope for Flick. He will feature Sane and Lenwadowski from the start.
