Facts
Derby day is here!
The Royal Blues have failed to win any of their last four clashes with BVB, whose only defeat in the last seven derbies came when they lost 2-1 in Gelsenkirchen in September 2014.
That means Borussia have the marginally better head-to-head record in the Bundesliga, with 32 victories compared to Schalke's 30, while there have also been 27 derby draws. Ten of those stalemates have ended 0-0 – no other pairing in the history of the German top flight has produced as many goalless draws. (br)
