German Bundesliga News :: Leverkusen and Hamburg face off in German Bundesliga clash

Posted on 2009-10-16 by Gooner

Saturday evening will see a huge clash in Germany as the league's top two sides Hamburg and Bayer Leverkusen square off in the Hanseatic City.

League-leaders Leverkusen only hold top spot by virtue of a superior goal difference and both sides at the HSH Nordbank Arena will be defending an unbeaten record after eight games.

Hamburg have lost several stars with knee injuries as defenders Alex Silva, Collin Benjamin and Miroslav Stepanek plus striker Paolo Guerrero have all suffered torn cruciate knee ligaments and are out for a number of weeks.

Defender Bastian Reinhardt, foot, and forward Mladen Petric, ankle, are also ruled out for the rest of the first half of the current campaign.
