Saturday marks the final round of games in the current Bundesliga season. Already secure as champions, Bayern will take on Koln at Allianz Arena. The visitors also have little to play for, which means that we should see a fun game played out between two teams that have nothing to fear. Looking at the early lines, it's worth betting on Koln's Said El Mala to shoot on target. 

El Mala hasn't only been one of Koln's most impressive players, but he's been one of the Bundesliga's most eye-catching young performers this season, especially in the final third. He'll arrive at Allianz Arena having got into lots of strong shooting positions of late, hitting the target regularly, so much so that he looks a little too nicely priced to work the Bayern keeper at least once.

Our Bayern Munich vs Köln Prediction

It really is party time for the hosts, who after wrapping up the title, played very freely last weekend, delivering yet more exciting offensive soccer. However, in their freedom, they were very open, presenting their opponents with lots of chances, so do not be shocked if Saturday's visitors make offensive headway at Allianz Arena on Saturday. 

For Koln, Said El Mala is the most threatening forward, and he's a forward who is hungry, shooting plenty. Given how much he's been shooting, how strong he is on the break, and the fact that he's registered five shots on target in his last three games, he looks generously priced here. 

Our Bayern vs Koln Pick: Said El Mala 1+ Shots on Target.
