According to the break for the World Cup 2010 qualifiers the German
Bundesliga will be continued this week-end with matchday 9. On Saturday
Hamburger SV hosts in the top match
Bayer Leverkusen, the second faces on the leader. Both clubs are unbeaten in the Bundesliga season 2009/10.
After the sensational start Hamburger SV counts this season to the championship favourites. The team of coach Bruno Labbadia faces rank 2 and got 20 points till now (6 wins, 2 draws). Last round they beat Hertha BSC 3-1. Only the injury list could become a problem for Labbadia. The HSV-coach must renounce on the long time injured keyplayers Paolo Guerrero, Collin Benjamin, Alex Silva and Mladen Petric. They will not be available during the first half of the season.
As well as HSV also Bayer Leverkusen had a perfect start in the 2009/10 season. The club of trainer Jupp Heynckes leads the table and is also unbeaten (6 wins, 2 draws). Bayer Leverkusen won the last both league games, keeper René Adler receives no goal since 280 minutes. In the offensive the trio Stefan Kießling (6 season goals), Eren Derdiyok (4) and Simon Rolfes (4) is always good for a goal.
