Schalke 04 take on the visitors Borussia Dortmund at “Veltins-Arena” in the Revierderby in the matchday of 26 of the Bundesliga. The game will be played in Gelsenkirchen on Saturday, April 1st.
Schalke 04 come up to the derby with four-game unbeaten run having won two last matches vs. FC Augsburg 3:0 and vs. Mainz 1:0. These victories allowed "die Konigsblauen“ to get up to the upper part of the standings of the Bundesliga for the first time in this season. After 25 gameweeks Schalke 04 occupy the ninth place in the Bundesliga recording 33 points gained and 32-27 goal difference. “Die Knappen” played 13 matches at their own turf in the Bundesliga recording 23 points taken with 22-11 goal difference.

Borussia Dortmund won six out of seven recent matches in all tournaments. In the Bundesliga before the derby “die Schwarzgelben” occupy the third place in the standings with 46 points gained and 54-27 goal difference. Thomas Tuchel’s steam show inconsistent even mediocre results on the road recording 16 points taken with 25 goals for and 20 goals against in 13 played matches.
Borussia Dortmund were not defeated in the derby in four matches in a row recording two victories and two draws including 0:0 draw in the reverse fixture earlier of this season at Borussia's turf. Usually the Revierderby runs in the uncompromising struggle with a great number of scored goals. I believe that after clean sheet in the reverse fixture, teams will score goals.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
