The line reads: Der Saisonvergleich Schalke gegen Stuttgart, bei dem der Revierklub die Nase knapp vorne hat. Would this translate as "home club"? Any expert out there who can help? Thanks.

Ruhr-based club

Revier means Ruhrgebiet in this context. Schalke, Duisburg and Bochum are all Revierklubs, as are the unmentionables from down the road... ;)
Peer comment(s):
agree Victor Dewsbery : Yes, originally the coal-mining area on the Ruhr (although there is less mining now than there used to be - not sure what the latest position in Gelsenkirchen is).

There were once 13 pits in GE, now there are none. A lot of the sites are now being reclaimed for other purposes.
agree Francis Lee (X) : Exactly.

agree Cilian O'Tuama : though the big three don't include Duisburg

Your're right, I forgot SV Erle 08.. ;)
agree Ingo Dierkschnieder : As the unmentionables are based in Lüdenscheid, you could question if they really are a "Revierklub".
