Schalke vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction & Betting tips
FC Schalke 04 has been completely lost recently. On Sunday, the club from Gelsenkirchen will play a home game against Bayer Leverkusen, which is fighting for a Champions League ticket.
FC Schalke 04:
Will Schalke 04 turn around this season? The club that did so well before the winter break doesn’t bake anything after the turn of the year. In the 2020 calendar year, Schalke got only eight points, from twelve games played. If you want to approach it positively: at least last week was not lost. Die Knappen played 1-1 in the away match against FC Union Berlin. The level of this competition was very low.
“It is clear that footballing is not going as we want,” Daniel Caligiuri told the club’s own media this week. “We have to fight and get everyone involved,” the midfielder resolved. Trainer David Wagner can call on Weston McKennie again on Sunday, who will return after a suspension. Normally, the American midfielder is in the base.
Bayer Leverkusen:
Bayer Leverkusen suffered a defeat last Saturday. With Kai Havertz it would have been difficult to get a good result against Bayern Munich. The best player of Leverkusen had to drop out injured, which meant that Die Werkself was completely faced with a difficult job. They still took the lead, but in the remainder of the match, the national champion proved to be too strong (2-4). Bayer is currently number five in the rankings.
On Tuesday, the Peter Bosz team came into action again, in the semi-finals of the DFB Pokal. Leverkusen had few problems with the small FC Saarbrücken, which was played to a 0-3 defeat. On July 4, Leverkusen is in the final against Bayern Munich. “The Schalke from after the winter break is not the same as that from the first round,” Bosz said at Friday’s press conference. “They won’t be very confident, but then again they won’t have much more to lose.” Havertz has recovered from his injury and will most likely be in the starting eleven on Sunday.
