Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund are no strangers to duking it out for the highest prize in Germany, and the two rivals only separated by one point heading into Saturday’s Der Klassiker derb, which headlines this weekend’s busy slate of soccer viewing.
The top of the table in Italy is also primed for a shakeup with Serie A-leading Napoli taking on Atalanta, and Jose Mourinho’s Roma battling Inter in a pair of key battles in Italy.
Chelsea is another league leader with no margin for error. The Blues host fourth-place West Ham on Saturday to headline the Premier League action.
Real Madrid is starting to run away in the La Liga standings, but take on a Real Sociedad that is highly motivated to get some cushion in Spain’s Champions League picture.

Here is a look at This Weekend’s Top 5 Matches to Watch, as well as a full rundown of This Weekend’s Soccer on TV and Online.
This Weekend’s Top 5 Matches to Watch
1. Borussia Dortmund vs Bayern Munich – Dortmund has not won the Bundesliga in a decade. This season isn’t the only chance they’ve ever had, but it’s another opportunity that is too good to waste.
2. Roma vs Inter Milan – Inter is in the title race that Roma is trying to claw its way back into. If they’re serious, beating Inter would be a statement win and a possible turning point.
3. West Ham United vs Chelsea – If Chelsea loses, the Premier League title race will be wide open. West Ham is punching above its weight class this year and should have the talent to make it a fair fight.
4. Real Sociedad vs Real Madrid – No. 1 vs No. 3 in the Spanish ranks. Madrid continues to position itself nicely for the La Liga title, but Sociedad is one of its few credible threats to shave away some points.
5. Philadelphia Union vs NYCFC – The MLS Cup final will also be decided this weekend. New York City’s thrilling weekday upset over the Revs should have them ready for any challenge, but the Union are the strongest team left standing. Can NYCFC produce another magic moment?
