Schalke vs Borussia Dortmund 11.03.2023

It’s safe to say that Schalke o4 has been having a rough go of things after making a return to the German top-flight football. The Knappen are currently in the 17th spot, the relegation zone having picked only 4 wins in their last 23 Bundesliga matches. Much of this poor performance has been down to their leaky defense after conceding the league’s second-highest 42 goals so far. However, Michael Buskens and his young lads seem to have woken up from this slum after staying unbeaten in their last 6 matches (2W, 4D), with only 1 goal conceded in the process. Coming up against Dortmund, their recent form will be tested and could even end considering they have lost in their last 4 H2Hs.

On the flip side, Borussia Dortmund’s latest defeat to Chelsea in the Champions League was surely disappointing for Edin Terzic and his men, but now that they are out of the UCL, they will turn their focus to the domestic league. Dortmund is very much in the run to the Bundesliga title after rounding up 49 points in 23 matches (16W, 1D, 6L) which has left them on the same points as Bayern Munich at the top of the Bundesliga standings. Dortmund has netted the league’s second-highest goals of 47 and will be looking to increase that tally against the struggling Schalke.

There is no doubt that Borussia Dortmund is the favorite here but we think there could be goals in this match-up with Schalke o4 making some improvements recently.
