The Bundesliga season is still fresh and sports bettors should be cautious. This meeting between Borussia Dortmund and Schalke 04 promises to be an interesting one.
The Revierderby, also known as the Ruhr Derby, is the name given to any football match played between Borussia and Schalke 04. There are also other teams in the area, but these are the biggest two and they enjoy an intense rivalry.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Champions League match only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Lazio.
