Prediction

  • Bayern began Bundesliga action in 2023 by grinding out a point in Leipzig to stretch their lead at the top to five points.
  • Koln picked up just a solitary point in their last five games of the year, but started 2023 with a serious bang by thrashing Bremen 7-1, scoring seven times in a Bundesliga game for the first time since 1983.
  • Bayern enjoy an advantage in terms of rest and recuperation after their Friday night outing under the floodlights and can nick the win on home soil here.
