TEAM NEWS: FC Bayern München - Borussia Dortmund

TEAM NEWS: Borussia Mönchengladbach - VfB Stuttgart

TEAM NEWS: 1. FSV Mainz 05 - SV Werder Bremen

Big blow:Hertha Berlin haven't had the best of Rückrunde's picking up just nine points from a possible 36 since the winter break. Ahead of their encounter with Bayer 04 Leverkusen, things seem to be going from bad to worse for the capital city side, who will have to make do without top-goalscorer and star striker Adrian Ramos. The Colombian picked up a thigh injury last weekend and has been ruled out for tomorrow's fixture.

Tough trip:

Getting stuck in traffic isn't exactly the ideal preparation for a do-or-die encounter with a relegation rival, but that appears to be what has happened to

Eintracht Braunschweig

(tweet below) ahead of their crunch match with

SC Freiburg

. "Braunschweig's bus hasn't arrived yet. They're stuck in the Freiburg city traffic."

Tough loss:Mame Biram Diouf and Szabolcs Huszti have scored 45% of Hannover 96's goals this season, but neither will be at head coach Tyfun Korkut's disposal at home to Hamburger SV on Saturday. Who will step up to the plate in their absence?

Good morning everyone! Just under eight hours to go until the second Klassiker of the Bundesliga season gets underway at the Allianz Arena. Perfect weather for football in Munich, too: Abundant sunshine with a bit of a breeze. What more could you ask for on a Saturday?
