>>> UPDATE <<<
Dortmund - All of Germany will look to the Ruhr area on Saturday evening when
BVB
and
Schalke 04
face each other
for the 181st Revierderby in
Signal-Iduna-Park
*.
Both teams started the Bundesliga * season very differently, with BVB in third place after four games, while Schalke are 17th with only one point and 16 goals conceded.
But the
table position
is not important in the derby, much more
commitment and passion are
required.
Borussia Dortmund - Schalke 04 in the live ticker: black and yellow against royal blue - who will get the derby three?
The
Schalke players
had
this experience
after scoring their first point in the Bundesliga home game against Union Berlin * last Sunday.
After the game, around
80 fans
who were assigned to the active Schalke fan scene
gathered
and whipped their still
winless team
before the important game.
In addition to motivating words, threatening statements should also have been addressed to the players.
Statements
below the
belt
are not uncommon at Schalke 04, as
proved by
some fans at the
U19 Revierderby
when a BVB youth player was insulted after a three-pack *.
👊🔜 Derby.

At Borussia Dortmund, the clear defeat in the
Champions League
against
Lazio
on Tuesday dampened the
otherwise good mood, in the league they scored nine out of twelve possible points.
But the team of BVB coach
Lucien Favre
is always good for a slip against teams from the lower third of the table, contrary to their own claims.
In the last duel, however, the
Royal Blues were dealt
4-0, and for the first time they celebrated
their highest derby win in 54 years
without a spectator
.

The second ghost game derby between the two
Bundesliga founding members
* could also point the way for the future of the respective
coaches
.
Dortmund's Lucien Favre apparently sits on a shaky chair all the time and was taciturn at the press conference after the weak performance in Rome.
However, the
Swiss
promised another game on Saturday against arch rivals Schalke.
#Favre: "We made too many mistakes in Rome. It wasn't enough. Sometimes that can happen. The game against Schalke will be very different."

On the side of Schalke, new coach
Manuel Baum
wants
to celebrate his first victory in 20 Bundesliga * games in his third competitive game on the Gelsenkirchen sideline.
It
is unlikely that
Lower Bavaria will
succeed in
turning
the trend against BVB, of
all
places
,
given the previous performances of his team under David Wagner
, but anything is possible
in the
Revierderby
.
The
results
from the last six meetings also clearly show this: each team won twice and the points were shared twice.
