Fierce rivals, Schalke and Borussia Dortmund, will face each other in the Matchday 24 of Bundesliga. Will the Bumblebees win the Revierderby and redeem themselves for a recent Champions League defeat? The answer is in our prediction.

Command Analysis

Schalke 04

Schalke managed to improve the performance in a second half of the season, they are unbeaten for six Bundesliga games in a row. Thomas Reis' men managed to beat Stuttgart (2:1) and Bochum (2:0) in two latest matches. Die Knappen still have some selection problems, but they surely will be extremely motivated for Ruhr derby, so Borussia should expect a difficult encounter in Gelsenkirchen.

Borussia Dortmund

This week, Borussia suffered a first defeat of the year, losing to Chelsea (0:2) in the Champions League. A loss in London eliminated the Dortmund side from the competition. Now Edin Terzic's men can fully concentrate on Bundesliga, but the Bumblebees still have some injury problems. Julian Brandt might miss the upcoming game, he is a key part of team's offense.

Tip and bets
Ruhr derby is always an unpredictable fixture. It doesn't matter where teams stand in the table, a battle between Schalke and Borussia Dortmund is always highly-anticipated among the fans. Visitors are approaching a trip to Gelsenkirchen in a wrong time - the Bumblebees got eliminated from the Champions League and a number of key players are still unavailable.
Schalke, on the other hand, gained impressive level of form and will try to build up their confidence with a victory over fierce rivals. The Miners have a great chance for a victory, given Dortmund's lack of quality up front.
Our prediction - Asian handicap (+1) for Schalke
We are expecting a tight encounter with a huge number of fouls. Visitors are probably tired after a difficult Champions League match and hosts will try to get advantage of opponent's poor physical condition. Schalke need to be cautious on defense, that's their best chance for a victory. Taking that into account, we offer to place a bet on total under.
Our second bet is on total under three goals
