The 2025-26 Bundesliga comes to an end with the final matchday on Saturday in Munich, featuring champions Bayern Munich and lower-half side Koln. This match between the 1st-placed Bavarians and the 14th-placed ‘Billy Goats’ is likely to follow the historical trend, with our prediction favouring less than 4.5 goals.
Bayern have already clinched the title and have 86 points (W27, D5, L1). Koln’s 32 points (W7, D11, L15) see them start the round six points above the relegation zone and guaranteed safety.
Bayern edged Wolfsburg 1-0 away from home last weekend to end a three-game wait for a win in all competitions (D2, L1). That sequence saw them exit in the Champions League semis, so all that remains is next week’s DFB Pokal final.
The Bavarians have been the team to beat in Munich, steamrolling opponents in the league. They have won 13 of their 16 home fixtures in the Bundesliga, scoring 63 goals in total.
Koln retained their top-flight status for another season irrespective of the result here. Despite losing 3-1 at home to Koln last weekend, they have shown their stubbornness by avoiding defeat in six of their last eight league games (W1, D5).
Even on the road, the ‘Billy Goats’ have drawn four league trips in a row, making them a formidable opponent.
