Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this game is the existence of several goals. This match has all the conditions to be very open and with several chances of goals, since the teams present effective offensive sectors. Thus, and because of this style of play, Borussia Dortmund should dominate ball possession and attack in a more leisurely way, while Schalke 04 should take a chance on the counterattack, at which point it is very strong. Taking into account these factors, betting in favor of goals in this match is the best option.
