The
Revierderby between
FC Schalke 04 and
Borussia Dortmund is the top match of the
4th round in German´s football Bundesliga. Schalke have lost the first three league games so they are already under pressure.
FC Schalke 04 started with three defeats in this Bundesliga season despite the fact that they engaged some well-known new entrants like Raul, Huntelaar and Jurardo. So the Magath men are second last and really under stress in the derby against Dortmund. Also the start in the UEFA Champions League group stage didn´t run by wish. Schalke 04 has lost the opener at Olympique Lyon with 0:1.
Better was the season opening for Borussia Dortmund. They started with a 0:2 at home against Bayer Leverkusen, but then followed a 3:1 away win at VfB Stuttgart and a 2:0 home win over VfL Wolfsburg. So Borussia faces table rank 6. In the UEFA Europa League Dortmund reached the group stage through a 5:0 aggregate win against FK Karabakh. The first group game brought on Thursday a 4:3 away win at Karpaty Lviv.
