Geißböcke to München

With draws in each of the three matches of the Rückrunde die Geißböcke venture to München with the utmost challenge of Bayern on Saturday afternoon. The results while not awe-inspiring have put the club on good course and established a firm base for next season with the early concerns of relegation in the past.

Prior to the match Christoph Daum noted his pleasure of weeks preparation and suggested that Köln will play more forward than they have in recent matches with, as he said, "We have a realistic (sense of) optimism", and "it is not impossible to get something from the game." Without a doubt, Herr Daum is aggressively looking for points tomorrow afternoon and taking nothing for granted.

For the match die Geißböcke will be without Youssef Mohamad as he is suspended with a buildup of yellow-cards and will have his defending spot served by Kevin McKenna. Both Pierre Wome and Adil Chihi continue to be miss due to injury. With the stated attacking intent, the key from Köln's perspective will be directed at Milivoje Novakovič, Sergiu Radu and Nemanja Vučićević.

The Bavarians are coming off a 2-1 loss to Herlin BSC and while anxious to make a run for the top spot are likely to adjust their lineup as they play Sporting next Wednesday in the Champion League. Luca Toni is doubtful and Poldi is most likely to play against his future teammates.
