Team News

Borussia Dortmund
Schalke
  • Mats Hummels should be fit again to start instead of Felipe Santana.
  • Sebastian Kehl and Sven Bender compete for the spot alongside the more attack-minded Ilkay Gündogan.
  • With Jakub Blaszcykowski and Mario Götze out injured, Marco Reus will most likely switch to the centre, allowing Ivan Perisic and Kevin Großkreutz to start on the flanks.
  • Kyriakos Papadopoulos is still out with an infection and wil be replaced by Joel Matip.
  • On the left wing, Ibrahim Afellay should get another chance, with Julian Draxler injured as well.
  • Otherwise, manager Stevens has no new injury concerns and can field a strong team once again.

Prediction

  • The "Revier Derby" always has the potential to become a very intense game.
  • Dortmund have not been on top form and new injury concerns don't make things easier. The team has to improve as a unit again to reach their potential.
  • Schalke are one place ahead of their Revier rivals in the table and want to keep it that way with a result away from home. If they continue their good attacking form, a draw is not out of thier reach.
  • Expect this to become a close and feisty affair. Both teams will desperately try to win, with Dortmund the slight favourites, despite some injury concerns.
