Tip and bets
In our opinion, home team will take the victory in Ruhr derby. Hosts have better players in the squad and they are in a better physical form. The Bumblebees are looking great in the current season, despite the departure of some players.
Schalke will surely try to win the derby, but it will be hard to do at Signal Iduna Park, plus latest head-to-head matches ended terribly for Schalke.
Our prediction - Asian handicap (-1,5) on Borussia
In our opinion, opponents will score many goals tonight. The Miners are far from perfect on the defensive end, while Dortmund side is powerful on the offense. Hosts might be able to score three of four goals tonight, plus the Bumblebees will play without their first-choice goalkeeper, so visitors have a chance to score as well.
Our second bet is on total over 3,5 goals
