Schalke are sixth in the table ahead of today's restart, 10 points off Bayer Leverkusen in fifth and a further two points behind fourth-place Borussia Monchengladbach. David Wagner's men are winless in seven league games, most recently playing out a 1-1 draw with Hoffenheim on March 7.
Dortmund won four league games in a row and seven of their last eight prior to the coronavirus-enforced shutdown, yet they still trail leaders Bayern Munich by four points with nine games to play. Lucien Favre's men were knocked out of the Champions League by Paris Saint-Germain in their most recent outing, meaning that all focus is now on winning a first title since 2012.
