Analysis
Bayern vs Köln: Die Roten's streak in jeopardy?
Bayern Munich's unbeaten streak in all competitions came to an end this Wednesday, but their Bundesliga record is still flawless. Carlo Ancelotti's crew gets to this match trying to defend their six-game winning streak against Koln, who hasn't been able to beat The Bavarians since February, 2011.
Ranked 3rd in the Bundesliga charts, Peter Stoger's men will try to show why they could shock the defending champions after waiting for five years, even if the club has been outscored by Saturday's opponents 18-3 in their most recent six games.
Bayer Leverkusen vs Borussia Dortmund
Roger Schmidt's side has shown they have what it takes to put up a fight against Bundesliga's Big Boys, but can they deliver this time against Thomas Tuchel's crew?
These teams have played 74 times against each other, with the yellow and black winning one more game (27) than Die Werkself. Curiously enough, Bayer dominated their overall stats until last year, when Tuchel's men won both games last season.
