Schalke Team News
Schalke 04 are in a desperate situation before the Ruhr Basin derby with Borussia Dortmund. It is the last in the ranking, with only nine points after 21 stages, nine points away from the dam place to avoid relegation. Neither the arrival of Christian Gross on the bench nor the arrival of named players, such as Huntelaar, Kolasinac and Mustafi (the first two comebacks), helped Schalke much more. The young American striker Matthew Hoppe, with 5 goals in return, is one of the main hopes of the “white-blues”, who are without victory in the last seven matches, of which they lost five. The Gelsenkirchen team has only one victory in this championship, the 4-0 category with Hoffenheim. Schalke are absent from the derby: Huntelaar, Ludewig, Paciencia, Ronnow, Sane and Skrzybski are all injured.
Dortmund Team News
Borussia Dortmund also does not feel great before the 98th Revierderby in Bundesliga history (35 Dortmund victories, 32 Schalke and 30 draws). Dortmund is only on the 6th place in the ranking, with 33 points, six under the Champions League places, after having only one point in the last two stages: 1-2 in Freiburg and 2-2, at home, with Hoffenheim. Edin Terzic’s team has only one victory in the last six stages, in which it suffered three defeats. However, he regained his morale on Wednesday, in the eighth round of the Champions League, with a 3-2 victory in Sevilla. Erling Haaland managed a new “double” and, at the age of 20, reached 18 goals in 13 matches in UCL. The Norwegian has as many goals in the Bundesliga this season, 15, as the whole Schalke team. Schmelzer and Witsel, injured, will not be able to play for BVB, and Hazard, Piszczek and Zagadou are uncertain.
