Hamburger Polo Club is confronted with their most difficult test of the season so far while they travel to play Table Toppers Uhlenhorst Mülheim on Saturday before they go to Rot-Weiss Köln on Sunday.
The German vice champions last season have so far been in strong form this period, sitting in second place, one point in Uhlenhorst but with a competition in hand.
It brings them in good condition for the upcoming EHL campaign where they will be confronted against Wimbledon in the KO16 on October 9one In Barcelona.
It will be their third EHL campaign if they look back from the disappointment of missing the Final8 by Rotterdam a year ago.
This period they have an impressive line-up with the German star Justus Weigand who joins Mannheimer HC, while goalkeeper Joshua Onyekwue Nnaji is another arrival who was the goalkeeper of the year in the Bundesliga then with Crefelder HTC.
The Hunne is a team with a lot of influence on the southern hemisphere again with new Zeelanders Kane Russell, Sean Findlay and Nic Woods stand in line with Australians Tim Brand and Tom Craig.
Brand and Craig helped them to beat Harvestehuder THC last Friday in their derby match and recovering from an early shortage to win 2-1.
It supported a healthy 7-0 win over SC Frankfurt 1880 in which new signing Justus Weigand delivered twice and a 4-3 victory over UHC Hamburg on the opening day of the season.
The only small blemish on their record so far is a 3-3 draw with TSV Mannheim, although they have added a shoot-out bonus point they had succumbed to a late equalizer in normal time.
There is also a healthy Austrian influence with Oliver Binder, Benny Kölbl and Leon Thörnblom in the panel, which extends the German legend Matthias Müller and Paul-Philipp Kaufmann.
