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.
