"The Munich men impressively demonstrated in the first game of the year against VfL Wolfsburg that even the two-week winter break would not affect their current form. With an 8-1 thrashing of the Wolves, Vincent Kompany's side extended their lead over closest rivals Borussia Dortmund to 11 points - the biggest gap between first and second place at this stage of a Bundesliga season ever."
"The 4-1 victory in October was a difficult affair for most of the game, according to the head coach: "It took until the end to make the difference." After a full calendar year without an away defeat in the Bundesliga - only the third time in the club's history after 1986 and 2013 - the Bavarians are determined not to let their run come to an end in the Cathedral City and are approaching the away game accordingly."
FC Bayern face 1. FC Köln on Wednesday evening to complete the first half of the season; a win would deliver the best Hinrunde in Bundesliga history. Bayern began the year with an 8-1 win over VfL Wolfsburg that extended the lead over Borussia Dortmund to 11 points, the largest margin between first and second at this stage ever. Vincent Kompany called the Wolfsburg performance extraordinary and emphasized the squad's motivation to maintain form. Kompany warned that Cologne is a difficult away fixture, noted the October 4-1 cup win only settled late, and stressed the team's determination to protect a year-long unbeaten away Bundesliga run.
