As well as the pressure bayern munich also have injuries to worry about. I put the full story in the Newsroom.
Luca Toni, the new Italian signing who has scored twice already, will have to lead the line alone after Miroslav Klose joined Jan Schlaudraff and Lukas Podolski on the casualty list.
Bastian Schweinsteiger and Marcell Jansen are also big doubts after they were forced to miss Germany's friendly against England at Wembley.
Centre-back Lucio has a calf injury but could be fit for the visit of Hanover, who got their first win of the season when they came from a goal down to beat Karlsruhe.
Despite the concerns, Bayern will be overwhelming favourites to make it three wins out of three, and Hitzfeld is already having to field suggestions that his side can go through the entire season without giving up top spot.
