Bayern Munich

One of the best seasons in Bayern Munich’s history comes to a close. With a whopping 117 goals scored in just 33 games and 86 points so far, they shattered numerous records.

33 of those goals belong to Harry Kane, who missed his first penalty last week since arriving in Germany, after previously converting 24 straight penalty goals.

Bayern Munich narrowly won 0-1 against Wolfsburg last week, not their flashiest game, but a solid win either way.

Now they are back at home, where they’ll look to finish the season with a high win, after previously drawing 3-3 against Heidenheim in their most recent home match.

Köln

Köln lost 1-3 at home to rock-bottom Heidenheim last week, their fourth consecutive winless game (two draws, two losses).

Here’s an interesting fact – even though they are winless in four and have collected just 32 points from 33 games, Köln secured their safety.

It is an odd season because 32 points led to relegation in 8 of the previous 11 Bundesliga seasons, so Köln got a bit lucky there.

Köln was awful at away stadiums this entire season. Only 2 wins in 16 trips, and currently winless in six straight away matches (2 defeats, 4 straight draws).

The Betting Verdict

Goals please! What else should we bet on if not the goals? We all know Bayern Munich will win their final game of the season at home.

Last round matches almost always have some festive atmosphere attached to them, especially among teams that have nothing left to battle for.

Both teams are perfectly relaxed, heavy rotation is expected, and goals look guaranteed.

I would go for the bar of 4.5 goals, so take this game to end in a goal fest, at solid odds.

The Pick :

Bayern Munich 4-1 Köln
