Bayern Munich may have failed to reach the Champions League final, but they have not only won the Bundesliga and German Super Cup, they also have the opportunity to win the DFB-Pokal on May 23 against Stuttgart.
Whether boss Vincent Kompany will ultimately be judged on domestic success is unclear, though he has guided the club to an historic season considering their tally of 117 goals has already bettered the previous division record of 101 goals scored.
The Bavarians were fortunate that they managed to get the better of Wolfsburg last weekend, as while they emerged as 1-0 victors, their opponents squandered a number of golden opportunities.
Regardless of the fact that the hosts enjoyed good fortune against Wolfsburg, it was still their sixth Bundesliga win in seven fixtures, as well as their 11th in 13 league matches.
Kompany may feel that he is able to make changes to his usual starting linuep, so there is no reason to doubt the inclusion of teenager winger Lennart Karl on the right of attack.
Koln's season has been a success despite the fact they sacked boss Lukas Kwasniok in March, with Rene Wagner now in charge on an interim basis.
Having been promoted from the second tier, the only goal that the team needed to achieve was top-flight survival, and the fact they are six points ahead of 16th-placed Wolfsburg means they head into the final matchweek with no pressure.
However, fans will be fearful that their team's campaign could end on a negative note, especially as the visitors were beaten 3-1 in the reverse fixtures in January.
The Billy Goats have concerns at centre-back, with both Timo Hubers and Luca Kilian ruled out, so expect to see Joel Schmied, Eric Martel and Jahmai Simpson-Pusey in the XI.

Whispers predicts: Bayern Munich 3-1 Koln
It will come as no surprise that the bookmakers see Bayern Munich as clear favourites, with a home victory given odds of 1/7.
Considering the frequency with which the Bavarians have scored at least three goals in games this season, we expect that backing Bayern Munich to Score Over 2.5 Goals at 7/20 would be a sensible bet.
However, given the visitors have often managed to find their way onto the scoresheet in recent weeks, backing Both Teams to Score at 1/2 could be a value prediction.
The away side have rarely managed to score more than once against Bayern, so it would be logical to predict Koln to Score Under 1.5 Goals at 1/3.
> Bayern Munich to Score Over 2.5 Goals at 7/20 | Likelihood: Probable
> Both Teams to Score at 1/2 | Likelihood: Possible
> Koln to Score Under 1.5 Goals at 1/3 | Likelihood: Possible
