Dortmund vs Schalke Match Preview

After a two-month suspension, the season of Bundesliga will be resumed. Dortmund are still fighting for the title against the league leaders Bayern, who dominated in the recent years.

After 25 rounds played, Dortmund are 2nd placed in the table with a total of 51 points, 4 less than leaders Bayern. Today they have a pretty difficult task to face against traditional rivals Schalke.

On the other hand, this unexpected break, probably was at the right time for Schalke, as they were in a streak of consecutive bad results, being winless for 6 rounds.

After 25 games played, Schalke is placed 6th with 37 points, being currently in the top-6 fighting for a place in the European competitions, but still far away from the top four that gives a ticket in the Champions League.

This is the traditional Ruhr Valley Derby, but this time it will be held in the strangest conditions ever. The teams are coming from a two-month break, and this clash will be played behind closed doors, without the home advantage for Dortmund. The odds do not represent what I've mentioned earlier. Schalke to win is offered at very high odds and it is definitely worth the risk.
