Prediction: 3-1
Schalke
There will be fireworks when Borussia Dortmund and Schalke 04 face each other in the Revierderby in the first round following the coronavirus football break. Lucien Favre’s troops suffered elimination in the Champions League knockout stages, meaning that they will be fully focused on the Bundesliga in the remainder of the season. Borussia Dortmund have been in a splendid form of late, with the team eyeing their fifth consecutive win in the national championship, and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play in the game of the weekend.
Die Knappen, on the other hand, have been struggling at the back of late, with the team conceding nine goals in total in the previous three league fixtures. Even though Saturday’s derby will be played behind closed doors, home win should be considered as influential winger Sancho returns to the starting line-up. Anyhow, a man to watch in the home team will be Norway rising star Haland, who looks unstoppable at the moment.
