From 18.00 CET, the first opponents on Tuesday night are Hamburg SV. The Hanseatic club finished eighth last term (Bayer 04 were fifth). This season they have been competing at the top of the table so far. “They are undefeated and very difficult to play against one-on-one or two-vs-two,” said Fabian ‘B04_DUBZJE’ de Cae who returns to the Werkself matchday squad after recovery from illness.
Bayer 04 are in striking distance of HSV in third place in the table and are just three points adrift. SC Paderborn 07 are not in the leading group. The club from the north-east of North Rhine-Westphalia are currently tenth but, like Hamburg, have played one matchday less then the #B04eSportler. The Werkself have a nine-point cushion over SCP 07 at the moment. De Cae and Co. want to extend that – ideally after a successful opener against the top team tonight.

Bayer 04 has secured a new premium partner in DXC Technology, a leading provider of enterprise technology and innovation. The club has agreed a partnership with DXC running until 30 June 2028.

The company is integrating Bayer 04’s previously separate digital systems into a unified fan journey that begins long before matchday and extends well beyond the stadium visit. As a partner of the women’s team and main sponsor of #B04eSports, DXC will be supporting two promising sections of the club during this period. DXC will also gain significant visibility as the sleeve partner of the women’s team in the DFB Pokal.

“Welcome home” was the message from a visually emotional fan in the direction of Moussa Diaby after Wednesday’s open training session. The French winger had just appeared on the BayArena training ground for the first time in three years following his return to Bayer 04. And before he took time for selfies and autographs, Diaby spoke to the media. Fellow new arrival Guéla Doué was also in action but not with the team for now.
