Köln were strong opponents for us during pre-season, holding us for a 0-0 draw. Umit Ozat was a top player for them that night, stopping every Bayern player that went in his direction. We couldn't make way to their goal, because their area was very crowded with defenders, and because we lacked organization and creativity. It was a very boring match to watch.

I expect something different this time though. They can apply the same tactics again now, but they won't have success, because they will be victimised by our 3-5-2 formation, just like Hertha. Even if we won't play a 3-5-2 (not easy to know, Jürgen keeps changing tactics for every match), I'm still sure we can beat them, our offensive is on form. I expect a solid win, probably 2-0. Yes, time for a clean sheet!

The guys are motivated, following the 4-1 win against Hertha last matchday. For more, some of them have hit up a very good form, especially Schweini, Poldi, Lahm and Kroos. Unbeaten Rensing, newcomer Oddo (a good improvement, obviously) and Bomber Toni are also strong points.

By the way, if someone could help me on how to watch the match live from a stream, I'd be very, very thankful, as I can't watch Bundesliga on TV anymore.

Why you cannot watch Bundesliga Bro, alot of channels broadcasts the matches of the bundesliga...
okay i'll try to find for you a live stream.

The whole Cable TV that we have here has been shut down by the Government, because they run it in an illegal way. To be more precise, the Cable TV took the profit of other channels and didn't pay them back.

It's going to take a lot of time until they reach a deal with all those channels. I've heard from a close source inside the Cable TV company that they're close to reaching deals for non-sport channels, though there is no way the sport channels will return for some time, as they're too expensive for the Cable TV to buy apparently.

I'd appreciate if you could find me a stream and inform me on how to launch it. I don't have the best internet, so I hope I can watch the match without interruptions.

Yeah GolTV broadcasts every Bayern BL game live here in the US in English and Spanish.
Before I ordered it in my cable package I always found a live stream for it.
If you just google "bayern (opponent) live stream" something always comes up.

"justin.tv" was always a good place to find feeds.

Predictions: v FC Köln (A, BL)

[Trim]

Bundesliga 2008/09, Matchday 4 (PREVIEW):
1.FC Köln – Bayern Munich

When Köln achieved promotion to the top flight it was games like this against Bayern Munich that would have whetted the home fans appetites. It has been three years since the two sides met at the Rhein-Energie Stadion and this weekend sees Christoph Daum’s troops looking to test themselves against last season’s champions.

The ‘Geiβböcke’ have steadily improved this season after their opening day loss to Wolfsburg. They sealed a point against Frankfurt, before gaining their first three points of the season last time out against Karlsruhe. That win was however overshadowed by the collapse of defender Ümit Özat.

Pierre Wome is suspended for the Bayern game, while Manasseh Ishiaku is also out injured.

Bayern too have improved in their last game following an average start to their title defence. Two draws against Hamburg and Dortmund had the doom-mongers out in force, but an impressive win over Hertha Berlin has put things in a little more perspective.

The question for Jürgen Klinsmann is whether to go with a back three or a back four, and whether to partner Lukas Podolski or Miroslav Klose with Luca Toni. Klose’s hat trick for Germany against Poland in midweek may see him win out, but that will once again have the Podolski exit rumours starting again.

Massimo Oddo could be set to make his debut, and we may even see Franck Ribéry on the bench.

We MUST win this game to stay in contention at the top. I sure hope Bayern pore on a ton of pressure throughout the whole game.

Bayern Line-up According to Kicker:

Rensing - Lucio, Demichelis, van Buyten - Oddo, van Bommel, Zé Roberto, Lahm - Schweinsteiger - Toni, Podolski

I dont like the 3-5-2 formation.... 4-4-2 i think is better.
