Schalke vs Bayern Munich Prediction & Betting tips
On Sunday afternoon, the numbers last and one of the Bundesliga ranking will face each other. FC Schalke 04 takes on FC Bayern Munich in the Veltins Arena. Can the home team make it difficult for Bayern?
Schalke 04:
Two weeks ago, Schalke 04 finally managed to end the embarrassingly long series without wins. But the 4-0 hit against TSG Hoffenheim did not immediately turn out to be the start of a success series by Die Königsblauen. Since then there has been two more losses due to S04. After a 3-1 loss in the weekend at Eintracht Frankfurt, they lost 1-2 to 1. FC Köln in the midweek round. The match was qualitatively one to forget quickly, although Schalke was actually entitled to a point in view of the game image.
Acquisition Klaas-Jan Huntelaar did not play against Köln. The veteran was not fit in time for that game, but the hope in Gelsenkirchen and surroundings is that the striker can play against Bayern. A role as a substitute seems most likely, as the first striker, Matthew Hoppe, is currently doing well. The American is withdrawing from the malaise. He has already scored five goals in seven Bundesliga matches, which he can call himself club top scorer. That in itself is of course also significant. Schalke has the greatest difficulty in scoring goals; that has only been successful fourteen times.
Bayern Munich:
FC Bayern Munich still wins the majority of its matches, but it hasn’t been really smooth and convincing at Der FCB in recent weeks. Last Sunday Bayern recorded a narrow 2-1 victory over SC Freiburg, and also won with only one goal difference midweek. On a visit to FC Augsburg, the Munich team initially played strong, also took the lead, but fell far back in the second half. With a bit of bad luck, the team would have lost points. But Robert Lewandowski’s penalty kick turned out to be enough for a 0-1 victory.
Yet the Bavarian club has little reason to be pessimistic. Bayern may not be playing its best game at the moment, but the competitors in the battle for the national title are losing many more points than Hansi Flick’s team. The lead on first pursuer RB Leipzig is four points, while the sloppy Borussia Dormund is already ten points behind. Much therefore points to a new league title for Bayern – which would mean the ninth consecutive.
