In the last match, they have tied in an away match against Bayer Leverkusen by (1-1), after in the previous match they have tied (0-0) at home, against Augsburg.

The Schalke enters this day after a foreign tie, a ball, in the displacement to the field of Bayer Leverkusen. Contrary to the rival of this day, the local team must act in a tactical system in 5-3-2, with the aim of taking advantage of fast transitions. Thus, we believe that Schalke will adopt a more offensive stance, with the aim of trying to score the first goal of the game. The two big lagoons of the home club are the completion of the chances of goal and the fact that sometimes fails to avoid the trap of offside. The Dutch coach Huub Stevens will not be able to count on Bruma, Konoplyanka, Mendyl, Uth, Schopf, Kutucu and Sané for being injured.
Stuttgart:
The away team is currently in the 16 th position of the league, with 27 points won, after 7 wins, 6 draws and 20 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Hertha BSC, by (3-1). In the last match, they won in a home match against Wolfsburg, by (3-0).

For the championship, Stuttgart won 1 point out of 30 possible, after 1 draw and 9 losses in the last 10 home matches.

They have not been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. There is a tendency for goals in their away matches, since 15 of the last 16 matches for this competition have ended with Over 1,5 goals. This is a team that scores only few times and was only able to open the scoring in 7 of its last 33 games for the Bundesliga, of these 7 reached the break in advantage in 4 and won at the end of the 90 ‘in 6. In 33 matches in this competition, he only managed 1 comeback in the 25 matches in which he suffered the first goal.
The Stuttgart enters this day motivated, after a homemade triumph, by 3-0, in the reception to Wolfsburg: Castro, Donis and Didavi marked the goals of the victory.

It should be noted that the visiting club has some gaps, mainly in the air football, being that in this particular the team often compromises its results.
