THE PREDICTION
This is one of the biggest derbies and rivalries in German football: the Revierderby. Following promotion last season, Schalke have struggled throughout the 2022/23 Bundesliga campaign and they remain inside the bottom two ahead of this weekend’s round of fixtures. However, four successive goalless draws were followed by back-to-back victories and they are in good form now. They face a Borussia Dortmund side that lost 2-0 to Chelsea in midweek and they were knocked out in the Round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League. The visitors are continuing to grind out Bundesliga results as they chase the title against Bayern Munich. Given the form and how important the game is, both teams scoring looks a good bet for this intriguing match.
