Comparative Team Statistics: Bayern Munich vs 1.FC Köln

History leans heavily one way

The recent meetings between these two have mostly gone Bayern's way by wide margins, including a 5-1, a 1-3 and a 1-4 in the last three encounters alone. Looking further back, Bayern have won the vast majority of meetings across the last decade.

That long record doesn't guarantee anything about this specific match a month from now, but the pattern has been remarkably consistent.

A big gap at the top and bottom

Bayern sit top of the table with 14 points from six games, while Köln are down in 12th with just seven points from the same number of matches. That's a six-place and seven-point gap after a handful of rounds.

A month of football can still move things around, but Bayern's start puts them well clear of where Köln currently sit.

Names catching the eye

Among Bayern's recent contributors, M. Olise has scored four goals in four matches and H. Kane three, with several players including Kimmich and Davies chipping in two assists apiece in that span. On the Köln side, E. Skhiri has two assists over the same sample.
