FC Bayern Munich will face FC Köln at the RheinEnergieSTADION in their next Bundesliga match on Wednesday evening.
Vincent Kompany’s team is looking to maintain their unbeaten record in this matchup. Bayern had an impressive first half of the season, gathering 44 points in 16 games and achieving a +51 goal difference, surpassing the previous high of +40 from the 2021/22 season.
A win in Cologne would match Pep Guardiola’s 2013/14 record of 47 points after 17 games, ensuring Bayern stays as the only undefeated team in Europe’s top five leagues this season.
