Current form: Dortmund vs Schalke
Dortmund come into this game one point behind Bayern Munich, and with just four games to go between now and the end of the 2018/2019 Bundesliga season, each and every single game will prove to be decisive as to who ends up being crowned champions of Germany.
At one point, die Schwarzgelben boasted a comfortable lead over die Roten, who were suffering some rather unusual struggles midway throughout the season. However, things have suddenly turned on their head, and with Bayern crushing Dortmund in their recent Klassiker meeting, it's Niko Kovac's men who now have the slight advantage at a crucial point. Lucien Favre's side, now, are the ones playing catch-up, and this could not have come at a worse time in the campaign.
The Klassiker defeat is Dortmund's only loss in their last five games, but it could prove to be their undoing by the time the season ends. It's been the closest - and most interesting - title race German football fans have seen in ages and it could actually go down to the final matchday.
Meanwhile, Schalke sit in 15th spot and have won just one of their last five Bundesliga games. The visitors were on the wrong end of a 5-2 score-line against Hoffenheim last weekend, and sit six points above the relegation play-off places, so they really can't afford any further slip-ups between now and the conclusion of the season. Unfortunately for them, they are taking on the side with the best home record in the divison, so they could be in for a tough afternoon on Saturday.
