THE LOWDOWN
BAYERN MUNICH
The reality is that Bayern Munich have bigger fish to try than a home Bundesliga fixture right now, with a crucial Champions League quarter-final second-leg clash with Arsenal just four days later. However, defeat could lead to Bayer Leverkusen being handed the Meisterschale before they play on Sunday, so it’s vital that Thomas Tuchel’s side come out on the right end of this one.
FC COLOGNE
FC Cologne have taken four points from their last two league games, but with Mainz having matched that, they remain inside the automatic relegation places. However, only a point separates them from Mainz so any sort of positive result here would be massive for the visitors. They’ll need to be at their very best though despite Bayern’s recent struggles.

THE PREDICTION
Despite Bayern Munich more than likely having their minds on this coming Wednesday, they’ll want to go into that second-leg with momentum behind them following a strong showing domestically. Bayer Leverkusen potentially winning the Bundesliga this weekend serves as further motivation for the Rekordmeister, who are expected to get the better of FC Cologne in Munich.
TIP: BAYERN MUNICH TO WIN
