Bundesliga back with derby duels
The German Bundesliga is back with a bang this weekend as the season resumes after the winter break. First up is Friday night's Ruhr derby between FC Schalke 04 and BV Borussia Dortmund.
The Ruhr derby is not the only regional duel as 24 hours later Rhine rivals VfL Borussia Mönchengladbach and 1. FC Köln meet while Hannover 96 play fellow northerners Hamburger SV. At the top, leaders SV Werder Bremen defend their position against second-bottom Hertha BSC Berlin.
