As a result, the team is increasingly being viewed as a promotion contender. \u201cNo one declared us the clear favorites before the season. I see it exactly the same way. But the lads have developed\u2014and we\u2019re building on that progress,\u201d said BVB head coach Daniel Rios in response to questions on the matter.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In their home game against Bonner SC, the only undefeated team in the Regionalliga West aims to continue its winning streak. However, the task is unlikely to be an easy one. Bonn, currently seventh in the standings, is coming to town and had also been on an impressive run up until last weekend. The \u201cRheinlöwen\u201d had gone ten games in a row without a loss before their streak was snapped by a 0\u20131 home defeat against Hilden. Rios is approaching the match with respect: \u201cBonn has shown in recent weeks just how difficult it is to beat them. They have players who, on a good day in the Regionalliga, can make the difference. Plus, they have a clear game plan\u2014both with and without the ball.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It remains to be seen whether BVB will have a full roster to draw from. U23 players Aaron Held, Tim Degener, and Fadi Zarqelain only returned on Wednesday from the U19 Youth League match in Baku. A decision on their spots in the starting lineup will be made at the last minute. Midfielder Mussa Kaba, who is out with a shoulder injury, remains unavailable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img data-assetref=\"u23-wiedenbr-1792671411155\" src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/2026/10/22/vorberichte-nachwuchs/u23-wiedenbr.jpg\"><\/p>\n<h2><b>Anticipation Overcomes Fatigue: U19s Eager for the Revierderby<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Three games, three wins: Coach Felix Hirschnagl\u2019s team has mastered this intense stretch of matches with impressive composure. Their convincing 5-0 victory over Norwegian Youth League side FK Bodø/Glimt was followed by a 6-2 home win against Rot-Weiß Oberhausen. Most recently, BVB also secured a 2-0 victory in their away match against Sabah FC in Azerbaijan. In just seven days, Borussia has thus built up plenty of confidence for their next challenging task: the prestigious Revierderby on Sunday (11 a.m.) at FC Schalke 04.<\/p>\n<p>With another win, Dortmund aims to maintain its lead in the DFB Youth League standings. The special significance of this historic rivalry should help the team quickly put the rigors of the two long away trips behind them. \u201cWe know how hard it is to play in the Youth League after a Youth League match. We\u2019ve traveled about 11,000 kilometers so far; we\u2019ll recover and then fully focus on the derby,\u201d explains Hirschnagl.<br>\nThere\u2019s every reason to expect a closely contested match. The first leg was already fiercely contested and was decided by an early own goal by Schalke.

Schalke, sitting in fourth place, is already eight points behind Borussia and under pressure. To avoid further jeopardizing their qualification for the main round, the Royal Blues desperately need to pick up points.

As a result, the team is increasingly being viewed as a promotion contender. \u201cNo one declared us the clear favorites before the season. I see it exactly the same way. But the lads have developed\u2014and we\u2019re building on that progress,\u201d said BVB head coach Daniel Rios in response to questions on the matter.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In their home game against Bonner SC, the only undefeated team in the Regionalliga West aims to continue its winning streak. However, the task is unlikely to be an easy one. Bonn, currently seventh in the standings, is coming to town and had also been on an impressive run up until last weekend. The \u201cRheinlöwen\u201d had gone ten games in a row without a loss before their streak was snapped by a 0\u20131 home defeat against Hilden. Rios is approaching the match with respect: \u201cBonn has shown in recent weeks just how difficult it is to beat them. They have players who, on a good day in the Regionalliga, can make the difference. Plus, they have a clear game plan\u2014both with and without the ball.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It remains to be seen whether BVB will have a full roster to draw from. U23 players Aaron Held, Tim Degener, and Fadi Zarqelain only returned on Wednesday from the U19 Youth League match in Baku. A decision on their spots in the starting lineup will be made at the last minute. Midfielder Mussa Kaba, who is out with a shoulder injury, remains unavailable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img data-assetref=\"u23-wiedenbr-1792671411155\" src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/2026/10/22/vorberichte-nachwuchs/u23-wiedenbr.jpg\"><\/p>\n<h2><b>Anticipation Overcomes Fatigue: U19s Eager for the Revierderby<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Three games, three wins: Coach Felix Hirschnagl\u2019s team has mastered this intense stretch of matches with impressive composure.

Most recently, BVB also secured a 2-0 victory in their away match against Sabah FC in Azerbaijan.
