And it’s not just bragging rights at stake, with the hosts currently second in the standings and the visitors locked in a battle for European football. Here’s how to tune in to Borussia Dortmund vs Schalke today.

Borussia Dortmund vs Schalke − Match preview
Wherever you stand on the decision to restart the Bundesliga in the middle of the pandemic, let’s all hope that this weekend’s proceedings do not have disastrous repercussions, as many fear they could.
There are so many questions though. Will there be pre-match handshakes? Will players be willing to mark each other? Will there be walls at free-kicks? And what about celebrations? Throw-ins?
Dortmund were in excellent form before the league was suspended, having won five of their last six league games. Schalke were not. They’d won just won of their past eight league matches, drawing four of the others. In fact, they’ve won just twice since the turn of the year.
Yet Die Knappen come into this weekend sixth in the league, thanks largely to their excellent form in the early stages of the campaign.
Anything can happen in a derby, but in order to stand a chance today, they’ll have to hope that the unexpected break has broken the rhythm of Dortmund’s teenage sensations, Jadon Sancho and Erling Braut Haaland.
