The weekend is here, football fans, you know what this mean: your girlfriend will have to wait for a couple of long 90 minutes before you can reply her texts. For another electrifying round of the European football leagues await.

Really wished we could preview each games of Europe's top five leagues but if we do we'll be here until the next World Cup. So let's just pick one game in each leagues, deal? First stop, Germany:

Bundesliga

Wir verpassten sie, Bundesliga! We missed you, Bundesliga! The German league comes back to action after a long winter break with a bang: the Borussen derby, Borussia M'gladbach vs Borussia Dortmund.

One thing Read The Game guarantee you from this game is scoring (sorry, Borussia keepers) this clash is known for high scoring, indeed the last two times these two teams met eight goals were split between them, with Dortmund winning the last encounter 4-0.

BVB sit in second place in the league, having lost only one of their last five games. One of the biggest reason for that is their number 17, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The speedy attacker is the league's top scorer and the reigning African Player of the Year. He's yellow hot! Call him The Sun.

Meanwhile, M'gladbach manager Andre Schubert's side is in fourth place, they're the only team who defeated Bayern Munich this season but only won two of their last five matches. And bad news for M'gladbach fans, BMG will be without their captain Granit Xhara due to suspension.

Who will win? Borussia or Borussia?

• Borussia M'gladbach vs Borussia Dortmund at 12:30 p.m.(USA ET
  Timezone) Saturday @ Borussia Park.

Get your passport, we're flying to England.

English Premier League

England's top flight football has been... I have no word to describe it, oh there's a word: beautiful. Amid this beautiful season, Arsenal is having one of their best season since the last time they won the league in 2004, sitting on top of the table.

Yet they tied their last two matches to Liverpool and seventh place Stoke City.

Elsewhere in London, Chelsea is having their worst season in ages. they're in fourteenth place, tying their last two games to West Bromich Albion and Everton.

After not losing nor winning their last two games, we can agree that both teams are tired of draws and will be happy whether they win or lose. If you didn't laugh at that one, this one will do the job: keeper Petr Cech played for Chelsea for a period of 11 years before joining Arsenal last summer, some people still haven't adjust to the fact that Cech doesn't keep for Chelsea anymore.

When I say some people, I mean Adidas. According to foxsoccer, Adidas sent new gloves to Cech at Chelsea's training ground-- don't blame them, 11 years is a long time. No, Chelsea didn't keep the gloves, they sent it to Arsenal's training ground.

Last time the two London clubs met, the game turned into a brawl as Arsenal's Santi Cazorla and Gabriel Paulista (after an incident with Diego Costa) got ejected. You thought this game had a lot of emotions, wait for Sunday: Chelsea is trying to turn their season around, Arsenal is trying to stay up top.

It's going to be a hard-fought game, who's going to fight harder? Don't say Costa.

• Arsenal vs Chelsea at 11:00 a.m. Sunday @ Emirates Stadium

Grab your passport again, we're going all around Europe this weekend. Next stop: Italy.

Serie A

You know why they call it Serie A? Because Serie A players are on their A games every week. For the past two seasons, Juventus won the league and Roma finished second. So we can say that they've been the best two teams in Italy.

Well, the best two teams in Italy for the past two years are facing each other this weekend, that's a A+ game right there. But currently, Juventus is in second place and Roma in fifth. So they gotta get back to their A form. And how do they do that? With three points.

Talking about three points, Juventus bagged all their three points in their last 10 league games. And they jut defeated Lazio in the Coppa Italia's quarter-finals. On the other hand, Roma has been bagging one point, they tied seven out of their last eight games in all competitions.

So what are you going to predict a draw or a win for Juve?

Don't hurt your brain, please. Keep in mind that last time the two teams met earlier in the season, Roma defeated Juventus 2-1.

• Juventus vs Roma at 2:45 p.m. Sunday @ Juventus Stadium

Tu parles francais? I hope so because we're going to France.

Ligue 1

Don't tell me Ligue 1 is the only French you know. Oh, you know Saint-Germain too, good. Well, title contenders Paris Saint-Germain-- I like your French by the way-- will host third place Angers on Saturday. Wait, isn't Angers English? Anyways, PSG has been winning lately but barely. They beat Toulouse 1-0 last weekend, Toulouse is in 19th place.

And before Toulouse, they almost tied to Lyon in Couple de la Ligue, Lucas Moura led them to a 2-1 win with a 73rd minute goal. Lyon is in 9th place.

If PSG struggled to beat Lyon and Toulouse in their last two games, can they top a stronger Angers team? Even worse, can Angers give them their first league loss of the season? Ou la la, c'est chaud.

• Paris Saint-Germain vs Angers at 11:00 a.m. Saturday @ Parc Des
  Princes

Tired from all this traveling? Let's go to Spain and drink some refreshing Horchata.

La Liga

Real Madrid scored five goals in their last two matches under new manager Zinedine Zidane. They're playing Real Betis on Sunday-- it's going to be a real game. I know what your football senses are telling you:"There's no way Madrid is going to score five goals for three straight games."

Well, the numbers show it, Zidane made 155 appearances for Los Blancos in the span of five years and scored 95 club goals in his whole career. And what number did Zidane wear for Madrid again? Exactly. There's five everywhere. Read The Game predict that Real Madrid will score five goals in Zidane's first five games as a manager.

You keep listening to your football senses I see: "No way, Gareth Bale is injured. Betis just tied with Villareal 0-0, and Villreal only have three points less than Madrid."

But are you man enough to predict against five stars coach Zidane?

• Real Betis vs Real Madrid at 2:30 p.m. Sunday @ Benito Villamarin

1. Borussia M'gladbach vs Borussia Dortmund
2. Arsenal vs Chelsea
3. Juventus vs Roma
