Coach Daniel Rios\u2019s team will host third-place FC Gütersloh on Saturday (2 p.m.) at the Rote Erde Stadium. A win over the East Westphalians would boost morale ahead of the top-of-the-table clash a week later against the league-leading team from Oberhausen, which is tied on points. After five straight wins, Borussia appears ready for these two tough challenges and aims to maintain its status as the league\u2019s only remaining undefeated team. <\/p>\nIt won\u2019t be easy. Gütersloh is the league\u2019s strongest away team and has yet to suffer a loss on the road, with five wins and two draws. It\u2019s no coincidence that Rios counts the visitors among the favorites in the promotion race.<\/p>\nWith a win, Gütersloh could cut BVB\u2019s lead to just two points. <\/p>\n<h2>U19 Hosts Rival Duisburg <\/b><\/h2>\nOne week after the unfortunate 0-0 draw in the Revierderby at FC Schalke, the U19s face their next challenging task. The league leaders from Dortmund will host second-place MSV Duisburg on Saturday (11 a.m.). Although the visitors have played one fewer game than BVB so far, they trail by just one point. With a win in this clash between the two teams that remain undefeated so far, they could therefore move ahead of Borussia. \u201cThis matchup will likely decide who takes first place in the group. We want to stay in first,\u201d says BVB coach Felix Hirschnagl. <\/p>\nAfter a grueling schedule featuring three games in one week and over 11,000 kilometers of travel, his team had little time to recover recently. Now, the team has been able to focus more specifically on preparation. The coach expects a match as closely contested as the first leg in Duisburg at the end of August. Only a late equalizer by striker Bjarki Gardarsson in the 87th minute\u2014sealing a 1-1 draw\u2014saved the team from defeat.<\/p>\nThe match against the \u201cZebras\u201d also serves as a dress rehearsal for the team\u2019s next challenge in the UEFA Youth League. Next Wednesday (4 November, 4:00 p.m.), Borussia will host Real Betis. After two wins and one loss on the international stage, the team aims to take the next step toward the knockout round.<\/p>\n<img data-assetref=\"U19-Derby-Schalke-1793352334194\" src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/2026/10/25/spielbericht-u19-derby/U19-Derby-Schalke.jpg\"><\/p>\n<h2>U17 Aims to Knock Schalke Off Top Spot<\/b><\/h2>\nWhen FC Schalke 04 and Borussia Dortmund face off, excitement is guaranteed. On Friday, the Revierderby takes on added sporting significance: Both teams will battle head-to-head for the top spot in Group G of the DFB Youth League. \u201cThis is a top-level showdown. Two very good teams are facing off. We\u2019re ready and feeling confident,\u201d says BVB coach Karsten Gorges.<\/p>\nThe situation couldn\u2019t be more exciting. Both teams have won nine of their ten matches and suffered just one loss. Thanks to a better goal differential\u2014plus 28\u2014Schalke sits narrowly ahead of Borussia, which has a plus 22. BVB lost the top spot three weeks ago following an unfortunate 1-2 loss in Wuppertal. Now they have the chance to reverse the standings in this head-to-head matchup. \u201cWe want to reclaim our strong position and win,\u201d Gorges makes clear.<\/p>\nThe match is also of great importance with regard to qualifying for the championship round. With an 11-point lead over fourth-place Duisburg, both teams have excellent prospects of advancing. The top three teams in the group qualify for the next round.

Athanasios Grammozis, on the other hand, will be out for even longer.<\/p>\n","title":"Text","multiValue":false,"value":"<h2>Youth Matches at a Glance<\/b><\/h2>\nU23: <\/b>BVB vs. FC Gütersloh (Regionalliga West): 31 October, 2026, 2:00 p.m. (Rote Erde Stadium)<\/p>\nU19<\/b>: BVB vs. MSV Duisburg (DFB Youth League): 31 October, 2026, 11 a.m. (Youth Training Center) <\/p>\nU17: <\/b>FC Schalke 04 \u2013 BVB (DFB Youth League): 30 October, 2026, 4:00 p.m. (Parkstadion, Parkallee 3, Gelsenkirchen)  <\/p>\n<h2>U23 Hopes for Sixth Straight Win<\/b><\/h2>\nThe Dortmund-based Regionalliga runner-up faces two challenging tests in the coming matchdays. Coach Daniel Rios\u2019s team will host third-place FC Gütersloh on Saturday (2 p.m.) at the Rote Erde Stadium. A win over the East Westphalians would boost morale ahead of the top-of-the-table clash a week later against the league-leading team from Oberhausen, which is tied on points. After five straight wins, Borussia appears ready for these two tough challenges and aims to maintain its status as the league\u2019s only remaining undefeated team. <\/p>\nIt won\u2019t be easy. Gütersloh is the league\u2019s strongest away team and has yet to suffer a loss on the road, with five wins and two draws. It\u2019s no coincidence that Rios counts the visitors among the favorites in the promotion race.<\/p>\nWith a win, Gütersloh could cut BVB\u2019s lead to just two points. <\/p>\n<h2>U19 Hosts Rival Duisburg <\/b><\/h2>\nOne week after the unfortunate 0-0 draw in the Revierderby at FC Schalke, the U19s face their next challenging task. The league leaders from Dortmund will host second-place MSV Duisburg on Saturday (11 a.m.). Although the visitors have played one fewer game than BVB so far, they trail by just one point. With a win in this clash between the two teams that remain undefeated so far, they could therefore move ahead of Borussia. \u201cThis matchup will likely decide who takes first place in the group. We want to stay in first,\u201d says BVB coach Felix Hirschnagl. <\/p>\nAfter a grueling schedule featuring three games in one week and over 11,000 kilometers of travel, his team had little time to recover recently. Now, the team has been able to focus more specifically on preparation. The coach expects a match as closely contested as the first leg in Duisburg at the end of August. Only a late equalizer by striker Bjarki Gardarsson in the 87th minute\u2014sealing a 1-1 draw\u2014saved the team from defeat.<\/p>\nThe match against the \u201cZebras\u201d also serves as a dress rehearsal for the team\u2019s next challenge in the UEFA Youth League. Next Wednesday (4 November, 4:00 p.m.), Borussia will host Real Betis. After two wins and one loss on the international stage, the team aims to take the next step toward the knockout round.<\/p>\n<img data-assetref=\"U19-Derby-Schalke-1793352334194\" src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/2026/10/25/spielbericht-u19-derby/U19-Derby-Schalke.jpg\"><\/p>\n<h2>U17 Aims to Knock Schalke Off Top Spot<\/b><\/h2>\nWhen FC Schalke 04 and Borussia Dortmund face off, excitement is guaranteed. On Friday, the Revierderby takes on added sporting significance: Both teams will battle head-to-head for the top spot in Group G of the DFB Youth League. \u201cThis is a top-level showdown. Two very good teams are facing off. We\u2019re ready and feeling confident,\u201d says BVB coach Karsten Gorges.<\/p>\nThe situation couldn\u2019t be more exciting. Both teams have won nine of their ten matches and suffered just one loss. Thanks to a better goal differential\u2014plus 28\u2014Schalke sits narrowly ahead of Borussia, which has a plus 22. BVB lost the top spot three weeks ago following an unfortunate 1-2 loss in Wuppertal. Now they have the chance to reverse the standings in this head-to-head matchup. \u201cWe want to reclaim our strong position and win,\u201d Gorges makes clear.<\/p>\nThe match is also of great importance with regard to qualifying for the championship round.
