Germany’s Ben’s Bundesliga
Week 6 of the German Bundesliga offers the long-awaited contest between the country’s top two clubs, the Heidenheim Heideköpfe (10-0) and Guggenberger Legionäre Regensburg (9-1), with Game One scheduled for tonight in Regensburg. (For a preview, go here.)
Elsewhere in the league, Munich-Haar and Mainz will both look to add to their win totals and Stuttgart and Mannheim meet up for a Sunday doubleheader. Mannheim has shown the past few weeks that it is better than its 4-6 record might attest, while Stuttgart will look to rebound after its sweep at the hands of Heidenheim last weekend.
The Bundesliga North finally gets up and running this weekend, though continued pandemic restrictions will allow only one series to be played, with the Solingen Alligators welcoming the Hamburg Stealers.
