Schalke picked up successive wins for the first time since July as they edged out Bochum 2-0 last Saturday.

This followed a 2-1 home victory over Stuttgart on February 25 which saw their 13-game winless run come to an end.

With 19 points from 23 matches, Schalke are currently 17th in the Bundesliga table, but could potentially leave the relegation zone and move up to 14th place with a win this weekend.

Elsewhere, Dortmund were dumped out of the Champions League on Saturday as they suffered a 2-0 second-leg defeat against Chelsea after claiming a 1-0 win in February’s reverse leg.

With their European quest now over, Terzic’s side turn their focus to the Bundesliga, where they have enjoyed a solid campaign and are pushing for their first title since 201.

Dortmund are currently on an eight-game winning streak in the Bundesliga and sit level on 49 points with first-placed Bayern Munich in the table.
