Relegation battle adds spice to the North derby


(Reuters) - The battle to avoid relegation will add extra spice when Werder Bremen and Hamburg SV, northern Germany's two most popular clubs, meet for the 100th time in the Bundesliga on Saturday (1430 GMT).

Hamburg are the only ever-present in the Bundesliga's 51-year history while hosts Bremen have missed only one season, following their relegation in 1980, yet both teams find themselves in danger of tumbling down to Bundesliga 2.
