"However, left frustrated over the weekend as they eventually had to settle for a 2-2 stalemate against leading relegation contenders Heidenheim, Lukas Kwasniok's side have shown some real cause for concern on either side of opening the New Year. Heading into Germany's festive break with a 1-0 loss at home against Union Berlin, the Billy Goats have failed to win any of their previous seven consecutive Bundesliga appearances (four defeats, three draws)."
"Koln Team News Shown what was a costly first-half booking away at Heidenheim over the weekend, former RB Leipzig youngster Eric Martel will miss out through suspension here. Likewise, both still dealing with respective knee injuries, the duo of Timo Hubers and ex-Borussia Dortmund misfit Luca Kilian remain on the sidelines. Coming off the bench and recording a seventh Bundesliga strike of the season on Saturday, budding midfield starlet Said El Mala could be handed a full recall."
Bayern Munich travel to the RheinEnergieStadion aiming to widen their Bundesliga lead and extend a run of domestic dominance since Vincent Kompany's arrival. Koln, newly promoted, prioritize top-flight survival but have failed to win in seven consecutive Bundesliga matches, including a recent 2-2 draw with Heidenheim and a 1-0 loss to Union Berlin. Koln exited the DFB Pokal 4-1 and face weakened options with Eric Martel suspended and Timo Hubers and Luca Kilian sidelined by knee injuries. Said El Mala could start and Ragnar Ache is expected to lead the line for Koln.
