Just two days after the last fixture, the Bundesliga is back with the Englische Woche (English Week) – a week in which clubs play three matches in the space of seven days, typically weekend, midweek and the next weekend. The midweek round gets off to a flyer, with a potentially title-deciding Der Klassiker. Let’s take a quick look at all of this week’s fixtures.
TUESDAY:
Borussia Dortmund vs FC Bayern München:
It’s first-plays-second in this week’s first match – Der Klassiker with a title twist. A victory for Dortmund would reduce their deficit to the Champions to a solitary point, but if Bayern win, they will be able to open up a seven-point cushion at the top of the table.
