Germany's top football division Bundesliga's 10th week will kick off Friday.
Opening match of the week to be played between Schalke 04 and Augsburg at Veltins-Arena, Gelsenkirchen, will begin at 20: 30 CET.
All eyes in Germany will be on Saturday's clash between Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, aka 'Der Klassiker.' The showdown to be staged in Bayern Munich's home, Allianz Arena, will kick off at 18: 30 CET.
"Undefeated" Bayern Munich are leading the league with 21 points whilst visitors Borussia Dortmund, who managed to collect only 7 points so far, are now in 15th place in the league table.
Dortmund's Turkish regular Nuri Sahin -- playing as a central midfielder -- is likely to miss the game due to his knee injury.
Meanwhile home team Bayern Munich may lack many aces such as German centre-back Holger Badstuber, Spanish defensive midfielder Javi Martinez, German box-to-box midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger and Spanish attacking midfielder Thiago Alcantara owing to their major injuries.
