When FC Koln hosts Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga on November 24 at RheinEnergieStadion, they’ll want to pull off a massive shock.
Koln had a rough start to the season, but in their most recent game, they managed to move off the bottom of the table before the international break with a 1-1 draw against VfL Bochum. Lukas Daschner first opened the score after 25 minutes, but David Selke’s goal in the second half gave Koln a point. The hosts were disappointed that they couldn’t win despite having 25 shots in total during the game. Both Jacob Christensen and Philipp Pentke are still sidelined with knee issues. Mark Uth, meanwhile, is the most recent player sidelined because of a muscle injury he suffered prior to the international recess against VfL Bochum. However, Dejan Ljubicic (knock) and Damion Downs (sickness) ought to have bounced back from their various setbacks to be ready to face Bayern Munich. The latter is probably going to play in a defensive-minded dual pivot with Eric Marter.
Head coach Thomas Tuchel wasn’t going to like the scheduling of the last international break of 2023, interrupting him, after he had won five straight games in the Bundesliga. Though the recently promoted team rallied from a two-goal deficit to pull even with 20 minutes left at the Allianz Arena, Bayern avoided a scare versus Heidenheim in their most recent game. However, by scoring off the bench, replacements Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and Raphael Guerreiro both had a significant impact. The most prominent absence is German Jamal Musiala, who injured his hamstring prior to the international break. The young player is now sidelined alongside Tarek Buchmann (thigh), Matthijs de Ligt (knee), and Gabriel Marusic (ACL). Bayern, who haven’t lost in the Bundesliga this year, are chasing leaders Bayer Leverkusen and are hoping to cut the deficit by defeating Köln.
