Even on free-to-air TV! Where can I watch HSV v Köln? | OneFootball

HSV face 1. FC Köln on Matchday 4 of this Bundesliga season. You can watch the match live on TV and via stream here.

The situation is pretty clear-cut: after a disastrous start that left them bottom of the table without a single point or goal, the Rothosen are under pressure to beat Köln. Anything other than a home win would hardly be acceptable before the three-week international break begins.

The visitors from the cathedral city, meanwhile, can play with a little more freedom. Köln have not exactly been fully convincing so far either. However, a 3–2 win over TSG Hoffenheim and a 1–1 draw against Werder Bremen ensured that head coach Rene Wagner’s side made a reasonably worry-free start to the season.

HSV coach Merlin Polzin, who recently signed a contract extension, had this to say about the opposition: “They strengthened really well again over the summer. Köln are a team defined by a lot of intensity. When the ball is played up to their target men, they attack it relentlessly. It can get uncomfortable. We expect a lot of balls to be delivered into the box. At the same time, they defend bravely and aggressively at the back.”
