A Sports Betting Pick by Niko
Football; Germany: Bundesliga
RheinEnergie Stadion – Koln
Wednesday, 14th January 2026 - kickoff 20:30 CET
Koln
Koln are constantly slipping since last November. They are now 11th on the table, but have not won a match in seven consecutive matches.
Last weekend, they played a 2-2 draw against Heidenheim, where they came back from a goal down twice, but still couldn’t do more.
Their home form is also poor. Koln won just once in the last six at home, losing three and drawing twice.
Bayern Munich
63 goals scored in just 16 Bundesliga games. What more to say? The unstoppable Bavarian machine blew away Wolfsburg 8-1 in the last game, and that match looked like they were playing against kindergarten kids….
The outcome of matches where Bayern Munich plays always depends on their mood. Sometimes they want to score 10, and sometimes they look like they are there just to get the job done, so which face will we see now?
I don’t think they will repeat the thrashing of Wolfsburg, but they should score at least twice or maybe three goals. They are currently on a run of 24 consecutive Bundesliga matches in which they have scored 2+ goals. Also, all of their 16 games this season ended with 3+ goals.
Regarding away performances, Bayern Munich is unbeaten on the road so far, having won six of their seven away matches, drawing only against Union Berlin.
Bayern Munich’s right-back, Josip Stanisic, suffered an ankle injury in the last game and is out of the team indefinitely.
The Betting Verdict
We have to go back to the 2010/11 season to find Koln's last win against Bayern Munich.
Since then, Bayern Munich have racked up 11 straight away wins against Koln across competitions, which shows their dominance.
I expect a similar outcome here, so let’s go with the combo bet of Bayern Munich to win & over 2.5 goals.
