Before the round - trends on German Bundesliga (2/3-03-2019)
Last week we saw a spectacular important win for Borussia Dortmund, which gave them peace at the top, but Bayern Munchen are still just a win behind keeping the pressure in the Bundesliga.
Schalke 04 - Fortuna Düsseldorf
Shalke 04 will host Fortuna Düsseldorf on Saturday with a desperate need for a win.

Eintracht Frankfurt - Hoffenheim
