Saturday afternoon in Hamburg is the R&R show, or Raul and Ruud for those of you who don't care for abbreviations. Together, the former Los Blancos strikers scored goals for fun at the Bernabeu and helped their ex-club win consecutive La Liga titles in 2006-07 and 2007-08.
Neither fancied spending the final years of their playing days warming the bench in Madrid so they've upped sticks to the Bundesliga. Hamburg and Schalke are joint second favourites (8.50) to usurp Bayern Munich as Champions next May.
In their two title-winning seasons spent playing together, Raul and Van Nistelrooy notched up a combined 77 league goals. Spain's great number seven accounted for 36, with Van the Man chalking up 41.
The bookies give the edge to the Dutchman outscoring Raul in the Bundesliga this season. Bear in mind that Van Nistelrooy has missed a large chunk of the past two seasons through injury, so Raul is great value.
