B. Monchengladbach vs Schalke Prediction & Betting tips
On the 15th matchday, the so-called top match is really one. In the fight for the direct qualification for the premier class or possibly for second place in the table, dueling the Gladbacher foal and the Royal Blues Schalke. Both teams can not be satisfied with their results from the last matchday and want to do better this week.
B. Monchengladbach :
For sure, the men around coach Hecking are currently among the best teams in the Bundesliga, and not only because they inflicted their first defeat on Jupp Heynckes on matchday 13.
After the home game against Bayer Leverkusen, in which the Borussia went down even with 1: 5, they could win four out of six competitive games. Including the narrow home win in the DFB Cup against second division Dusseldorf. With 0: 1 they could decide this meeting for themselves and deserve to be in the second round.
Then they won away at TSG Hoffenheim, played in front of their home crowd 1: 1 draw against Mainz, wrestled out again the old lady from Berlin and, as already mentioned, beat the FC Bayern 2-1 in Borussia Park.
However, the Bayernbezwinger curse should actually be there, because on the last matchday the foals missed the jump in second place. In the away game in Wolfsburg, they had to equal defeat 3: 0, never brought their usual pace on the lawn and lost deserved in Wolfsburg.
This coming Saturday there will be a big showdown with the Schalke squires, who are currently playing at least as well. If the Hecking men win the duel, even table position two could look out. And if you believe the statistics, this project is not so unlikely, because the last three Bundesliga games against the “Malocher Club” in front of their own fans won the foals all clear.
Kramer could move back into the team after surviving skull bruise. For him Jantschke would have to give way.
Herrmann will not be able to play this year because of a torn muscle.
Summer – Kramer, Elvedi, Vestergaard, Wendt – Ginter, Zakaria – Hazard, Grifo – Stindl, Raphael
Schalke :
Without any ifs and buts the Schalke under Tedesco develop into an absolute top team. No fewer than eight Bundesliga games in a row, the miners are now without defeat, have won four times in the same period and played four times draw. Including the already historic 4: 4 in the Derby district at Borussia Dortmund after 4: 0 rest of the gap.
What they lack, however, to a top team, you saw on the last matchday. In front of the local fans, the Royal Blues dueled with the bottom of the table 1. FC Cologne. Actually, everything went according to plan, because the striker from the service Guido Burgstaller brought the miners before the break with 1: 0 lead. But shortly after the break, Gurassy netted with his first goal this evening to 1: 1 compensation.
The bravely defending Cologne were from then on not relaxed and had quite a chance on the opening goal. However, he succeeded again in the 72nd minute Schalke in person of Harit. The joy was only a few minutes, because in the 78th minute Guirassy laced his double to 2: 2.
After that, the events rolled over. Substitute Goretzka, who has been associated with FC Bayern over the past few weeks and appears to have ambitions to move up to a record, wasted no effort by Özcan on the Effzeh side in Zidane Mannier. The Cologne player did not go down and the referee did not even show the much-hyped Goretzka the yellow card. A bonus that should not have happened, because Goretzka would normally have to be suspended for at least five games. He even had the nerve to stand in front of the cameras after the game and say it was not intentional, which clearly disproved the video images.
Be that as it may, the Schalke split from the bottom of the table with 2: 2 and travel on Saturday to Gladbach, where they meet the equally strong foals. However, there was hardly anything to gain in recent years. The Royal Blues lost the last three Bundesliga games in Borussen Park clearly.
Goretzka has to be absent, but will be in the top match in the team.
Ferryman – Stambouli, Naldo, Nastasic – Goretzka, M. Meyer – D. Caligiuri, Oczipka – Harit, Konoplyanka – G. Burgstaller
