Six games of the upcoming 8th round of the
German Bundesliga will be played on Saturday. One of them is
Bayer Leverkusen against
1. FC Nürnberg. Leverkusen is unbeaten this Bundesliga season and faces the second rank, while Nürnberg is third last and won only one game till now.
Bayer Leverkusen started nearly perfect in the Bundesliga season 2009/10. After matchday 7 they are unbeaten (5 wins, 2 draws) and behind Hamburg on the second table rank. Last week the team of Jupp Heynckes beat 1. FC Köln 1-0 in the Rheinderby, the winning goal scored team captain Simon Rolfes. Best Leverkusen scorer is Stefan Kießling with 5 season goals. Rolfes and Eren Derdiyok scored till now 3 goals. The only defeat in the 2009/10 season collected Leverkusen in the second round of DFB Cup: 1-2 against Kaiserslautern.
Not by wish runs the season start for Nürnberg. The club of coach Michael Oenning is third last of the table, last matchday they lost 0-1 at home against VfL Bochum. Nürnberg captain Andreas Wolf injured in the match against Bochum and will be therefore not in the squad. Probably also absent are Marcel Risse, Christian Eigler, Isaac Boakye and Angelos Charisteas (all injured). Nürnberg has scored only 4 goals in the first 7 rounds.
