Bundesliga’s back and on Matchday 23 the Rekordmeister is welcoming the Billy Goats to the Allianz Arena. With five matches in the next 16 days, FC Bayern is entering a critical phase. After tomorrow’s match, the Bavarians are going against Braunschweig, Hannover 96, Shakhtar Donetsk and Werder Bremen. Three competitions in such a short period of time could cause problems to the Bavarians. That’s why it’s important for FC Bayern to win the match against 1. FC Köln so that the self-confidence is there when their campaign continues in the DFB Cup on 4th March.
Even though the Rekordmeister has an excellent record of 20 wins in a row against newcomers, the promoted FC Köln has managed to cause problems to the Bavarians in their previous meetings. However, FC Bayern have demonstrated their power in the demolition matches against Hamburg (8-0) and SC Paderborn (6-0) and it seems like they have found back to their old form after a rather bad start of the second round.
Against FC Köln, Matthias Sammer is expecting a focused FC Bayern team “We are entering a very hot season phase now and we must be aware that we have to turn on the machine mode and not the emotion mode. Feelings don’t count now. We need to be relentlessly greedy and have to return to our unforgiving rhythm.” Will FC Bayern succeed in this is yet to see.
The match takes place today, Friday 27 February, 8:30 p.m. CET at the Allianz Arena. (Saturday 28 Feb, 3:30 a.m. Malaysia time). See you !
