The action in the German Bundesliga continues to come thick and fast. On Wednesday, four more games take place, including at RheinEnergieStadion, where Koln and Bayern will clash. Having been promoted from 2. Bundesliga at the end of the previous campaign, the hosts are ticking along quite nicely. They're not currently involved in the scrap for survival, sitting in a respectable 11th position, while they come into this fixture off the back securing a point on the road last time out. Unfortunately, they're about to bump into a Bayern team that looked in red-hot form at the weekend.
On their way to what should be another decisive title success, the Bayern boys walked all over Wolfsburg last time out, scoring eight goals on their way to yet another comprehensive success. Vincent Kompany's men really are scoring league goals for fun this season, notching a staggering 63 goals in 16 Bundesliga games. Can they be stopped in the Rhineland on Wednesday? I very much doubt it, though the hosts have some promising offensive players in their ranks, so we could see moments of joy for Lukas Kwasniok's men too.

Our Köln vs Bayern Munich Prediction
Facing Bayern after they smashed Wofsburg to pieces last time out won't be easy for Koln, but on home soil, the Biilly Goats should fancy themselves to make offensive headway. One home-team player who could easily threaten is Said El Mala. The young forward has been in excellent form of late, scoring three goals in his last five appearances, while he's scored goals against teams currently in the top eight on multiple occasions this season.
From a shooting point of view, the dynamic and hungry youngster has been very active in recent weeks, shooting four times in his last two games, while he fired off three shots in games against Dortmund, Hoffenheim and Leipzig, all of whom currently join Bayern in the top six. In other words, he's a little more threatening that theh early odds suggest, and against a Bayern side that can be countered, he's worth betting on to shoot on target at least once all the time odds of -120 are on offer.
Our Koln vs Bayern Pick: Said El Mala 1+ Shots on Target.
