Bayer Leverkusen vs Hamburger SV Head to Head: Can Die Werkself Topple Leipzig to Claim the Third Place With a Win Against 13th-Placed Hamburger?

It's been a wait of almost seven years to see the Bayer Leverkusen vs Hamburger SV head to head match in the Bundesliga. The two teams face each other once again after the 2017/18 season at the Volksparkstadion in Hamburg, which also turns out to be the first meeting between the two teams this season.

Hamburg are back in the German top flight after their relegation in 2018, which is a massive boost for the club management and the fans alike. They have performed decently enough as of now, as they sit 13th in the league with just four wins out of 16 games.

They are just four points off the relegation zone and would avoid dropping points further, especially in the games they have their favoured home support.

Bayer 04 Leverkusen had a tough start to the season but have managed to bounce back well, and now sit level on points with RB Leipzig in fourth place. A win with an improved goal difference should be enough to take them above Leipzig, which they would be aiming for in this tricky away fixture.
