German champions and the in form team in Europe, Bayern Munich, will be in action in the second round of the DFB-Pokal against FC Koln this evening. The Bavarians are marauding teams this season and have won all their matches they have played so far. Their dominance is echoed by the fact that they have scored 30 times in 8 matches played in the German Bundesliga and they really need to have a bad day at this rate to lose a domestic contest. FC Koln are eighth in the Bundesliga standings and head into this fixture on the back of three defeats in their last five games. They will need to be at their very best just to match the level of Bayern Munich's football.
