Dortmund vs Schalke Prediction & Tips
This resumption of German football will no doubt be marked by this long-awaited Ruhr derby. Placed in second place in the Bundesliga, Borussia Dortmund seems to be the last team capable of returning to Bayern Munich. Last competition where Lucien Favre’s men are still in the running, they are only four points behind the Bavarian club. A delay far from impossible to make up for, as Jason Sancho’s teammates face the leader in ten days. Before that, it will obviously be necessary for Borussia Dortmund to succeed at least in keeping this gap. The second in the Bundesliga will therefore have only one goal in this derby: victory. With four consecutive league victories, the BVB will be widely favored in this match. Schalke 04 was not at its best before stopping football, with six games without a win. Down to sixth in the standings, Alexander Nubel’s teammates are just two points ahead of their first two chasers. This derby promises to be very complicated for them.
