Schalke vs B. Monchengladbach Prediction & Betting tips
The Bundesliga will resume on Friday evening with an interesting match. Schalke 04 will take on Borussia Mönchengladbach in Gelsenkirchen. Which of the two is the best during the winter break?
FC Schalke 04:
Schalke 04 had a clear assignment prior to this season. There was revenge for the weak last season, in which the club from Gelsenkirchen finished in 14th place. The new coach David Wagner showed up well in the first half of the season with Die Königsblauen. Schalke is the current number five in the ranking. Schalke‘s game was not always attractive, but there is a strong team in Gelsenkirchen. In the first half of the season, only three league defeats were suffered.
In the winter break there was the disappointment about the departure of goalkeeper Alexander Nübel. The talented keeper still had a contract for half a season, and Bayern Munich managed to capture him. After this season, he relocated to Bavaria. Two new players were also registered. Michael Gregoritsch has been rented from FC Augsburg for half a year, while central defender Jean-Clair Todibo comes from FC Barcelona on a rental basis. Wagner therefore has a good selection to finish a good second half of the season and to crown it with a European ticket.
Borussia MG:
Borussia Mönchengladbach entered the winter break as the surprising number two in the ranking. Die Fohlen also perform better than last season. Gladbach even led the way for some time, but losing points in December led RB Leipzig to take over the lead. The intermediate balance of 35 points from seventeen games is nevertheless very positive. Gladbach can fully focus on the league in the coming months, as they are already eliminated in both the DFB Pokal and the Europa League.
For Breel Embolo, Friday’s competition will be special. The attacker was previously under contract with Schalke, but he never really got there. Embolo seems better in place in Mönchengladbach. He scored six times in the first half of the season. “Breel Embolo has incredible qualities,” his coach Marco Rose stated at the preparatory press conference. “But he can still improve in many areas,” the trainer was also positively critical. Rose has a pretty fit selection for Friday.
