After the top match on Sunday, Werkself captain Lukas Hradecky presented 140 blankets to the local homeless charity. The Finland international keeper talked to the volunteers on site about this important community activity.
Equally welcome was the extent of the comprehensive financial and other donations from employees at Bayer 04. That means this St. Nicholas Day (6 December) will see 100 jam-packed bags presented to Leverkusen citizens who come to the Kältegang Leverkusen meeting point on the Wiesdorfer Markplatz on Wednesday. This is the fourth time this collection has been held.
In addition, funds raised by fans donating the deposit from their cups at Werkself home games will also go to Kältegang Leverkusen. Collection bins on the bottom tier are sited in the immediate vicinity of the exits in the North Stand and also centrally opposite blocks SD3/D3.

Bayer 04 face Hamburger SV for the first time in almost eight years. Although the Hanseatic city team are often below par on the road, they are regularly in top form in front of their own fans. In particular, 18-year-old shooting star Luka Vuskovic is proving to be a real bonus for Merlin Polzin's team, both in attack and defence. However, that should not scare the Werkself: Not only was the last defeat against the newly promoted team 17 games ago, but Kasper Hjulmand's players are in with a chance of securing their fifth win in six games against HSV.
