Last chance for Schalke
Schalke seems to be doomed for relegation this season if they can’t come up with something special in the next matches. And things can get tougher as they host Dortmund in the Revierderby having won just one match at home in 37 Bundesliga outings.
It must be very painful to look at the stats for the Schalke coaching staff. They started the season with an 8-0 defeat to Bayern Munich, just one league win eight games ago against Hoffenheim, they have the worst defense, the worst offense, it just hasn’t worked out for them.
Dortmund looking to get back to the top four
After a great midweek Uefa Champions League win in Sevilla, the BVB are looking at this match as the path for them to climb back to UCL spots. They lost their early season form in the Bundesliga recently winning just one match in six.
But that win should give them a confidence boost as they scored three goals against a very tough Sevilla defense. That was the fifth time in six matches that they scored two or more goals. It also meant they conceded two or more goals in six of their last seven matches.
Key Stats
- Schalke hasn’t won at home in three matches
- Schalke was not able to score a goal in their last two home matches
- Dortmund has scored at least one goal in their last 19 matches
- Dortmund has scored at least one goal in the last 10 away matches
Schalke vs Dortmund Prediction
Both of these teams are chasing very different targets in this game but one thing is for sure, they need the three points badly. Can Schalke with their terrible defensive record stop the likes of Haaland and Sancho? Well, they have to if they want to show they deserve to be in the top flight.
Dortmund, on the other hand, has no problems in scoring goals as they score even if they lose but their defense has let them down recently.
We predict over 2.5 total goals in this match.
