Schalke 04 Team News
Schalke 04 have not had much luck in recent years in matches against their biggest rivals Borussia Dortmund. Now they are hoping to break that unpleasant streak and basing that hope on the fact that they are undefeated from the rest of the competition.
In the last round of the Bundesliga, they beat Bochum 2:0 as guests. They were also better than Stuttgart 2:1. Before that, they had a series of drawn matches that ended without goals for both sides. They shared the points with Union, Wolfsburg, Monchengladbach, and Koln. For a long time, Schalke did not have such an excellent start to the half-season, and this gives them hope that they will avoid the relegation zone altogether.
They are currently in 17th place in the Bundesliga. They have 19 points, the same as Hoffenheim and Stuttgart, who are above them in the table. This team was one of the worst in the first part of the season, and now the change is based on a solid defense, which is difficult to score a goal. On the other hand, the attack remained the same, but it is starting to find ways to achieve more goals.
Borussia Dortmund Team News
At the beginning of its existence, Dortmund wore blue and white colors on its kit. You could get in trouble if you say that to a BvB fan today. That’s how great the rivalry is between them and Schalke, which we still know today by that combination of colors. So it’s clear how proud Dortmund are of their last 4-0 local derby win two years ago.
Whether the players of Dortmund have a reason to think positively about the next match depends on the team’s state after the 2:0 defeat against Chelsea. Their influential striker Julian Brandt is injured and is unlikely to be on the field on Saturday.
Last week they beat Leipzig with goals from Marco Reus and Emre Can. It should be known about Dortmund that they have won each of their previous three away games without conceding a single goal. The match with Schalke will surely be the most emotional, showing whether BvB has the strength to keep pace with Bayern at the top of the table.
