Bayern Munich will receive Saturday afternoon Schalke 04. On paper, there has been a Bundesliga Classic, but in practice given the lousy shape of the team from Gelsenkirchen hardly any. Munich Spikes sprinkle extra salt in the wounds of Die Königsblauen?
Bayern Munich
Bayern Munich is the first of two races in 2017 without come through unscathed. In both SC Freiburg and Werder Bremen were won with 1-2. The first victory, you could say that it was undeserved. Last week it was the profit up, but it was the play of the Munich Spikes again not great. Why were the two goals – David Alaba and Arjen Robben – particularly attractive. It is that competition there are few of bakes, putting pressure on Bayern is not particularly large. Or Leipzig is also in the second half of the season to rise above themselves, but here I still have doubts.
Franck Ribery will be Saturday for Der FCB not be there. For coach Carlo Ancelotti is no reason to panic. With Kingsley Coman and Douglas Costa, there are two excellent replacements available. It is questionable whether Ribery still really can make a difference for the champions. He expresses less his mark on the game than before. In that respect there is a difference with Robben, who still seems to be in its best shape. The Frenchman is still in mid-2018 under contract with the club from Bavaria.
Probable lineup Bayern Munich
Neuer – Lahm, Javi Martinez, Hummels, Alabama – Xabi Alonso, Vidal – Robben, Muller, Douglas Costa – Lewandowski
Schalke
Schalke 04 has not at this season. The start was disastrous, with five defeats in the first five games. Then there seemed to be an improvement coming with a good series in the league and in Europe, but just before the winter break, the draft came into it at the club from Gelsenkirchen. And even after the recess, there is little to cheer for Schalke. Two weeks ago, FC Ingolstadt was knocked somewhat fortunate (1-0). Last Friday were the blue-whites again took office in house, against Eintracht Frankfurt. This time was there point loss. In a terrible game dripped Schalke with a 0-1 defeat away.
Shocking was that the team of Markus Weinzierl in 90 minutes of football barely managed to establish risk. It came to be the team both in rest and after a shrill whistle concert the fans. The fans want the team, especially in home games, for storming forward, but in practice this does not happen. This amazes me though, since Weinzierl at his previous club, FC Augsburg, was known for his offensive tactics. For now he seems to be another coach who can not deliver it to the illustrious club.
Klaas-Jan Huntelaar returned this week back training. If he found something of his old top form back knows, that would be particularly welcome. The other players include scoring particularly difficult.
Probable lineup Schalke 04
Fährmann – Höwedes, Naldo, Nastasić – Goretzka – Schöpf, Kolasinac – Aogo, Bentaleb – Choupo-Moting, Burgstaller
