After a week's hiatus for World Cup qualifiers, the Bundesliga is back for round 8. And this weekend features the mother of all German derbies.

Dortmund-Schalke

Dortmund and Schalke face off in a clash of Ruhr Valley rivals. This classic match-up is one fans look forward to all season. Going into this game the teams were tied in the all-time statistics: each had won 32 times against the other.

Düsseldorf - Bayern Munich

This game may at first sound one-sided, but these squads have the two stingiest defenses in the league. The only question is. Can newly promoted Düsseldorf handle the kind of high-quality firepower that Bayern has?

Bremen - Mönchengladbach

Do you know when Gladbach won the last time in Bremen? It was 22 matches ago. Both teams are struggling at the moment. So no one has a clear advantage here.

Frankfurt - Hanover

Frankfurt have been having a fairytale season so far, but can they keep it going against Hanover? Hanover has run hot-and-cold this year, but they have midfield wizard Szabolcs Huszti, who returned to Hanover after having played three season in Russia.
