Prediction

  • Two new coaches are in situ as Julian Nagelsmann and Steffen Baumgart pit their wits against each other.
  • Koln survived relegation by the skin of their teeth last season, winning a play-off against Holstein Kiel, and have picked up just a solitary point in their last 14 meetings with Bayern.
  • Record champions Bayern began their quest for a 10th straight Bundesliga title with a hard-earned point in Gladbach, scoring for the 48th-straight Bundesliga game.
  • All eyes will again be on Robert Lewandowski. Can the prolific striker get anywhere his record 41 Bundesliga goals from last season? Lewy has scored 14 goals in 15 games against Koln, and has notched in 14 consecutive games in all comps and can fire the serial champs to a high-scoring victory.
