It’s a busy weekend for Americans Abroad, and a clash between two of the U.S. Men’s National Team’s biggest stars headlines a loaded schedule.

Christian Pulisic and Fabian Johnson collide in Bundesliga action, as Borussia Dortmund takes on Borussia Monchengladbach on Saturday. Both sides can certainly use a win, as the two currently sit seventh and 12th on the table, respectively. In other Bundesliga action, Aron Johannsson and Werder Bremen take on Alfredo Morales and Ingolstadt in the only other clash of Americans on German soil.

In Mexico, the Apertura Liguilla continues with the seconds legs of semifinal clashes. William Yarbrough and Club Leon enter the weekend down a goal to Tigres, while Ventura Alvarado and Club America look to build off of a 1-1 road draw with Necaxa in the opening leg.

Elsewhere, Josh Perez looks for another crack at the Fiorentina first team against Palermo, Cole Grossman faces a relegation playoff with Stabaek and Bob Bradley’s Swansea City faces a massive test against Tottenham.
