Schalke 04 vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction & Betting Tips - Bundesliga

Prediction published on 10/03/2023, 00:43  by Daniel Ngulu in Bundesliga Predictions

Borussia Dortmund will be traveling to Schalke 04 in their next Bundesliga game, hoping to bag three points that could take them top of the league. These two sides are battling on the opposite ends of the league standings, Schalke second from bottom with 19 points and Dortmund second on 49 points. Schalke have been improving in their recent matches and this one will be a big test for them. The home team is unbeaten in the last six matches, though four of them have ended in draws. They have two straight wins coming into this game and five clean sheets in six. One goal conceded in the last six matches paints the picture of a much-improved defence and Schalke will want to extend the run that has seen them score four in the last two games.

Borussia Dortmund’s fine run was brought to a halt at Stamford Bridge as they lost 2-0 to Chelsea in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16. Dortmund had gone on a winning streak of 10 matches before falling in England and will want to dust themselves up and go for the Bundesliga title. They are only second to Bayern Munich by goal difference and will definitely know this is a crucial game. Dortmund have failed to score in one of their last 11 matches – the loss to Chelsea but in their last 10 matches, they have scored two or more goals in seven. Four of their last six matches have produced under 2.5 goals and they will take pride in having managed three straight clean sheets in their most recent away league matches.
