Both Schalke and Borussia Dortmund go into the highly anticipated Revierderby full of confidence, which should make for an exciting game of football at Veltins Arena.

The Miners have not really impressed this term, having largely struggled to live up to the potential, but there is still plenty of time to save this season.

Jens Keller’s side could easily join their next opponents in the Champions League quarter-finals, having held Galatasaray to a 1-1 draw in the first leg, while their league position also seems to be improving.

Back to back wins over Fortuna and Wolfsburg saw Schalke climb to sixth in the overall standings, with the Miners now just two points behind the final Champions League berth.

A win over bitter rivals Borussia would certainly be more than welcome, so bear in mind home win pays 3.60 (13/5) at SkyBet.

With Klaas Jan Huntelaar finally breaking his scoring duck, the Dutch striker is 2.75 (7/4) with Ladbrokes to score in his second successive match.

New boss Jens Keller is again facing serious selection problems, given that Jermaine Jones is suspended, whilst Lars Unnerstall, Kyriakos Papadopoulos, Ibrahim Afellay and Ciprian Marica are out injured.

Probable starting line-up (4-2-3-1): Hildebrand – Uchida, Howedes, Matip, Kolasinac – Hoger, Neustadter – Farfan, Draxler, Bastos – Huntelaar.

Borussia Dortmund may be out of the running for the Bundesliga and DFB Pokal titles, but that doesn’t mean this season can be characterized as a failure.

The Millionaires are doing well to hold on to the second place in the league standings, while their Champions League campaign is also a huge success.

The 3-0 win in the return leg against Shakhtar not only saw Jurgen Klopp’s side qualify for the quarter-finals, but also struck fear into their potential opponents.

Even the top European sides are now hoping to avoid Borussia in the Champions League quarter-finals, which speaks volumes about club’s recent uptrend in fortunes.

BVB now face a difficult task when facing their bitter rivals Schalke, but they are, nonetheless, 2.10 (11/10) favourites at 888sport.

Given that Jurgen Klopp is unlikely to make big changes to the starting line-up, you might want to back Robert Lewandowski to score, at odds 2.20 (6/5) offered at Ladbrokes.

Midfielders Sebastian Kehl and Sven Bender look set to miss out, which should see Nuri Sahin get a rare start.

Probable starting line-up (4-2-3-1): Weidenfeller – Piszczek, Hummels, Subotic, Schmelzer – Gundogan, Sahin – Blaszczykowski, Gotze, Reus – Lewandowski.
