Schalke vs Dortmund Prediction & Betting tips
On Saturday it will be time again for the most loaded derby in Germany. FC Schalke 04 is in its own Veltins Arena opposite the neighbors of Borussia Dortmund. The yellow-blacks would like to give Schalke an extra push towards the 2. Bundesliga.
Schalke 04:
After 21 rounds, the counter for Schalke 04 is still only one victory. The Knappen made their dramatic series without competition victory last month, but that is also the good news for the people in Gelsenkirchen and surroundings more or less ends. Last week, FC Union Berlin drew 0-0. This hard-won point, thanks in no small part to goalkeeper Ralf Fährmann, barely helped Schalke in the battle for survival. S04 is currently at nine points, and there is a gap of also nine points to the safe fifteenth position.
During the winter break, Klaas-Jan Huntelaar was one of the trumps that the club management conjured up. The striker who came over from Ajax should provide much-needed goals, but Huntelaar’s fitness is not up to scratch yet. This week, the club announced that the attacker cannot take action yet. Other newcomers such as Shkodran Mustafi and Sead Kolasinac will normally start on Saturday. Schalke fans will hope that this game, against the hated rival, goes better than earlier this season – in October, Schalke lost 3-0 to Dortmund.
Borussia Dortmund:
At Borussia Dortmund, a sporting crisis was temporarily ended midweek. In recent weeks, the yellow-blacks in the Bundesliga have lost points on the assembly line, so it will be quite a job to finish in the top-four. In the first match of the eighth final of the Champions League against Sevilla FC, Dortmund was by no means the favorite. However, Edin Terzic’s team managed to lay a great foundation for the return in Spain. Partly due to a Doppelpack, the Sanchez Pizjuan won 2-3.
“This gives us confidence for Saturday,” said midfielder Mahmoud Dahoud after the game won in Seville. He also knows that the games against Schalke are perhaps the most important of the season for supporters. It remains to be seen whether goalkeeper Roman Bürki is fit again for this Revierderby (in Germany they are not talking about the Kohlenpottderby). Terzic no longer has to deal with an overcrowded infirmary, as was the case earlier this season. Der BVB’s coach therefore has a few choices to make. He could choose to kick off some fresh forces.
