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. BVB won narrowly 1\u20130, so the hosts are likely eager for revenge. \u201cThey\u2019ll be looking to get even for that,\u201d warns Hirschnagl.<\/p>\n<p>The current standings add extra intensity to the derby. 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. Hirschnagl therefore expects an opponent that will throw everything into the mix: \u201cI took a look at the standings. This is kind of their last ticket to the main round. Schalke will give it their all.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><b>A Breather for the U17s Before the Top-of-the-Table Clash<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>The U17s also have a matchup against FC Schalke coming up in the DFB Youth League. Unlike the U19s, however, this match won\u2019t take place for a few more days. The rescheduled match from Matchday 10 against MSV Duisburg\u2014which BVB won 4-1 last Wednesday\u2014means Coach Karsten Gorges\u2019 team has a weekend off. The extra time comes at just the right moment: it allows the Dortmund team to prepare in peace for the highly anticipated top-of-the-table clash on October 30 at 4 p.m. at the Parkstadion. <\/p>\n","exportedType":"text/html"},"id":"editable-6a9c13e012","prio":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"boolean","name":"prio","title":"Prio (Clubplatform)","multiValue":false,"value":false,"exportedType":"boolean"},"headline":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"string","name":"headline","title":"Headline","multiValue":false,"value":"Dortmund\u2019s U19 Team Is Eager for Its Next Derby Victory","exportedType":"text/plain"},"author":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"string","name":"author","title":"Author","multiValue":false,"exportedType":"text/plain"},"teaserType":"relatedContent","match":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"content-fragment","name":"match","title":"Related Match","multiValue":true,"exportedType":"text/plain"},"externalId":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"string","name":"externalId","title":"External ID (Clubplatform)","multiValue":false,"exportedType":"text/plain"},"displayOnHome":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"boolean","name":"displayOnHome","title":"Display in News Wall on Homepage","multiValue":false,"value":true,"exportedType":"boolean"},"url":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"string","name":"url","title":"Vanity URL (LEAVE EMPTY FOR AUTOMATIC VANITY URL.

The xGoals value for BVB\u2019s opponents is also the lowest in the Bundesliga (4.9)\u2014no surprise, since Borussia Dortmund has also allowed the fewest clear-cut scoring chances by opponents (only two).<\/p>\n<p>Kobel can rely on an exceptionally strong defensive line. New signing Joane Gadou (65.9% of challenges won), defensive leader Waldemar Anton (61.1%), and the outstanding Nico Schlotterbeck (69.5%!) form the league\u2019s most solid defensive unit. On average, BVB\u2019s back three win two out of every three duels (65.5%), placing them ahead of the defensive lines of their direct rivals from Munich and Freiburg in terms of success rate\u2014though the comparison isn\u2019t entirely apples-to-apples, since FC Bayern (53.7%) and SC Freiburg (62.9%) play with a back four.<\/p>\n<p><img data-assetref=\"93-Abwehr-1792656528141\" src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/2026/10/22/bl-fakten-abwehr/93-Abwehr.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>The defensive movement is also fundamentally sound across all parts of the Dortmund squad: so far, the Black and Yellows have allowed only three shots on goal by opponents following a counterattack.
