BETTING PREVIEW

After a great start to the season Schalke seriously lost their way and suffered loss after loss. They have only just strung together a few wins in their last 2 games, but they are going to have a tough time getting even a point in this game, against the defending champions who are in confident mood.

Dortmund are fresh off a 3-0 thrashing of Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League and will fancy their chances against a Schalke side that still has a big question mark hanging over their defence. While they have not lost any of their last 3 in the league and 4 in all competitions, they have conceded in each game. Dortmund have scored in 16 straight games coming into this one. A goal here would be a club record 17th straight game with a goal.

Schalke have won just 1 of their last 5 meetings with Dortmund, losing 3! That win was earlier this season, when they were on their great start, and they won 2-1 against the defending champions. This makes this a revenge spot for the visitors, who had won the previous 2 meetings 2-1 here and 2-0 at home.

Keep an eye out for Robert Lewandowski, as he is going to want a goal in this match. He has scored in his last 6 league games, and a goal here would mean he equals the club record for a player scoring in consecutive matches. Also, the striker may be leaving the club, so will likely want to go out on a high and we should see him try and get a goal here.

THE BETTING VERDICT

The away win odds are just about fair value, and while I really fancy Lewandowski to score, I will go with Dortmund to win this game.
