With David Wagner as head coach, who has a success rate as a coach of 1.31 PPS, they have a coach with BVB past. He was from 2011 to 2015 coach of the Borussia 2 team. Mentioned also belongs that Schalke against no other team in the Bundesliga so often draw a draw, as against the BVB. 29 times to be exact, where ten times a derby came to a close with 0: 0. In the last 5 Revierderbys on Schalke they could celebrate 2 wins, make for 2 draws and once, which was the case last, they had to give up beaten.

A joker against Schalke could be coach Lucien Favre, who knows Schalke from 18 games as a coach. Of these, his eleven won 7 games and made 2 draws. Nine times they had to give up. Wagner has never sat against BVB as a coach on the bench. Favre's success rate is currently at an average of 1.65 PPS. He probably has to do without Schalke against 3 protagonists. With Paco Alcacer and Marco Reus 2, the strongest player seems to be missing. On the other hand, it should be mentioned that Reus only scored for 1 goal in eight derbies and never came to a conclusion on Schalke.

The BVB scored with 20 goals total, the second most of the Bundesliga and they gave with 121 attempts the fourth most. With 2 own goals they also lead this table. They put in each game to 228 sprints on average, which are the third most of the league. This puts them just a few points behind Schalke. However, they have the best pass rate of the league with 89%. All in all, we believe that this district derby will be on an equal footing. Whether BVB will win, we dare not really predict.

Bet Tip and Forecast
We suspect that the away game will come to an end and believe more in Schalke's victory. Since a draw can not be ruled out and bookmakers' odds are good on a Double Chance 1 / X bet, we can recommend such a special bet. We also assume that both teams will meet, which is why we can recommend such a bet. The goal balance certainly allows a placement on over 2.5 goals, which is associated with slightly more risk, even if the value of the bookmakers suggests otherwise.

It is April 27, 2019. Borussia Dortmund receives in front of home crowd the FC Schalke 04 and would like to regain the table top of the Bayern with a win. The Black and Yellow are actually leading the scoreline 14 minutes into the game, but from then on deliver one of the weakest performances of the season. After 90 intense minutes in the Signal Iduna Park, the guests from Gelsenkirchen celebrated their 4-2 victory in the stadium of the biggest turf rival.

Because in addition, with Marco Reus and Marius Wolf two players were referred with a red card of the place, the super-GAU is perfect for BVB.

For one thing, the Gelsenkirchen players have been playing a solid season so far, but with just one point from their last two games, they have gotten a small kink. On the other hand, BVB currently seems to be only a shadow of itself.
The tired kick during the week at Inter Milan (0: 2) has also triggered a new fundamental discussion about Lucien Favre as coach. It is quite possible that the Swiss will have to worry about his job, even if the most important game of the year for many fans should not be won.

The advantages are certainly purely on the side of the guests, but in view of the fact that the black and yellow have to go abroad, played only on Wednesday in the Champions League in Milan and also personell one or the other question mark still exists, we ask between Schalke and Dortmund the prognosis that a tip on Marco Reus and Co. virtually prohibits, if a sustainable or value-based decision is to be made.

In fact, the Royal Blues had this opportunity, but due to the recent two disappointing results, it was forgiven recklessly. At home against 1. FC Köln were only a few minutes to fix the 1-0 win (final score: 1: 1), before in the previous week, the match was lost at TSG Hoffenheim with 0: 2.
It was the first competitive defeat for the Knappen since the 0: 3 in front of home crowd on 24 August against Bayern. In the meantime, the protégés of coach David Wagner, who is known to have a Dortmund past, stood in four victories in a row, before by the aforementioned last-minute goal against the "Effzeh" that success was abruptly stopped.

It will be important for the ambitious Ruhrpottler now to keep the head up, to stretch out the chest and act with the same passion as in the course of this season.

David Wagner about the derby
Incidentally, this trend is not exclusively to the matches in front of home backdrop, but in general to transfer all past eight matches in the Bundesliga season 2019/2020.
Free soccer predictionsFor this reason, we probably do not lean too far out of the window when we make the prediction that the home side will only have a chance of winning if they score at least two goals before the Revier derby Schalke against Dortmund. However, the Wagner-Elf managed so far only in half of all games. On average, not even three goals are scored in the games with royal blue participation.

As if planning for probably the most important home game was not exhausting enough, those responsible had to deal with the Benito Raman staff during the week. The Belgian, who came from Dusseldorf in the summer and does not yet meet the expectations set in him, is said to have repeatedly noticed negative during his time in the home and have made, inter alia, homophobic utterances publicly.

Nonetheless, the sports chiefs around Jochen Schneider and coach David Wagner decided not to sanction the offensive player, since the misconduct had been clear to the club in advance and Raman had already apologized in the past. A bit of unrest should have arisen in these already hectic days around the Veltins Arena.

Incidentally, this does not change the fact that, in our view, the Schalke Vs. Dortmund odds are too clearly in favor of the guests are aligned. The table-sitter, who is only one point behind the rival of the West (compared to 42 in the previous year), is clearly underestimated by the bookmakers. Therefore, betting on the home side could definitely make sense in whatever form.

Personally, David Wagner has no problems. With the exception of the sorted out Nabil Bentalebs all players should be available. Only Weston McKennie and Suat Serdar have been struggling with muscular pain, but should be on time.

Dortmund - Statistics & Current Form
Borussia Dortmund have lost exactly two of the twelve previous fixtures in the 2019/2020 season. At first glance, one would probably speak of a successful first quarter of the current season, but on closer inspection, it is clear that the yellow-blacks lag behind their own claims.

The mere fact that BVB meanwhile drew only three times in succession in the Bundesliga caused shaking heads at the board level, especially with a little more concentration and mentality (sorry, Mr. Reus) instead of three points quite nine points could have jumped out. With then 21 points, the reigning runner-up would lead the table and you would possibly judge the past performance of the Favre Elf differently.

On all social media channels increased the critical voices, which tied the tired, unimaginative and almost fearless appearance of Borussia in the San Siro to the tactical orientation of the coach.
Admittedly, Favre's plan to keep a goalless draw for as long as possible and pin the needle as the game progresses could well have worked. At the latest after the goal to 0: 1, however, both the traveling fans and the audience in front of the TV devices would certainly have wished a bolder idea of the ball game club, the more in the premier class than ever to the draw into the second round.

We therefore definitely foresee a prognosis for the away win between Schalke and Dortmund. The Black and Yellow are currently defensively defensive (two goals conceded in four out of the last six competitive games) and have too little foreplay in the absence of the injured Alcacer. As a result, the critically-minded Swiss coach will once again opt for a more cautious approach, suggesting a rather low-pitched duel.

The bottom line is we decide before the Revier Derby Schalke. Dortmund therefore for the tip on a maximum of two goals. Bwin offers the top odds of 2.15, which we allude to with the use of six units.
