Bundesliga: Eintracht Frankfurt at Bayern Munich, 8:30 a.m. Saturday, FS1. Two consecutive league losses have dropped Eintracht from third to sixth in the Bundesliga, and things don't get any easier this week. Eintracht is six points off the pace for a Champions League spot. Holding on to a top-six spot, and making it to next season's Europa League, is now the goal.

FA Cup: Lincoln City at Arsenal, 11:30 a.m. Saturday, FS2. Lincoln City, a fifth-division side, is the first FA Cup quarterfinalist from outside the Football League in more than 100 years. Is it so impossible to believe it could beat Arsenal, which is reeling after a 10-2 aggregate loss to Bayern Munich in the Champions League? Belief aside, it's certainly can be hoped for.

Liga MX: Chivas at Tigres, 7 p.m. Saturday, Univision. At the halfway point of the Clausura, Chivas is your league leader, with victories in three of four games vaulting it to the top of the standings. Tigres, the Apertura champion, is in the bottom half and has CONCACAF Champions League duty this week to think about. It's a prime opportunity for Chivas to extend the lead.

MLS: Portland at Los Angeles, 6 p.m. Sunday, FS1. After its 5-1 blowout of Minnesota in Week 1, Portland is riding high, but now comes the hard part: going on the road. Portland didn't win a single road game last year and lost 11.

The Wolves didn’t have Anthony Edwards or Mike Conley available for the second game in a row, and Rudy Gobert departed in the second half for personal reasons.
