German powerhouse Bayern Munich has been stellar in domestic competitions so far in the season, as they have already captured the Bundesliga and have reached the Cup final. However, they suffered a bad elimination in the Champions League semi-finals against Real Madrid, despite doing an excellent job in the second leg. In any case, they will be hosted by bottom-feeders Koln on Saturday, for the 33rd Match-day of the Bundesliga. Koln has already been relegated, so we will probably see a very open and care-free match here.

Koln (5-20-7) have had an abysmal season, despite being OK last season. They were caught up in the Europa League earlier in the season, and they couldn't handle the amount of work. They have been sitting at the bottom of the Bundesliga for the better part of the season, and they were the first team to be relegated to the lower division mathematically. Even so, they are fighting hard in all their matches lately, which goes to show the fighting spirit this team has. In their last game, they might have fallen by 2-3 on the road against Freiburg, but it took a goal at the stoppage time to do that. They had pulled even with goals at the 82nd and 87th minute but saw their opponents score the winning goal at the 2nd minute of stoppage time. They have won just 4 of their 14 matches in 2018 (4-7-4), but they have been consistent scorers, failing to score only once in that span. They will have four injury concerns ahead of this match, with Clemens, Guirassy, Lehmann, and Zoller being listed as questionable to participate.

On the other hand, Bayern Munich (26-3-3) are coming off a frustrating performance in the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals against Real Madrid. They had lost by 2-1 in Germany in the first leg and needed to score at least twice in Madrid to have hope. They did take the lead at the 3rd minute with Kimmich once again but were equalized just eight minutes later. Karim Benzema eventually overturned the lead in Real Madrid’s favor with his second personal goal at the 46th minute, but Rodriguez pulled even for Bayern Munich at the 63rd. They tried hard to score a third goal that would see them through to the final, but a series of unfortunate shot selections and some excellent luck by Real Madrid held the match to a 2-2 draw that left Bayern Munich eliminated. They will now have to return to domestic duties with an indifferent game against the already relegated Koln. Bayern Munich still has a handful of injury concerns, like Robben, Coman, Alaba, and Vidal are still unavailable, while Neuer is being listed as doubtful.
