Schalke Preview – Can Schalke end woeful run?
Sunday’s hosts, Schalke, look to have their work cut out ahead of this upcoming clash against Bayer Leverkusen as the home side are without a win in the Bundesliga from their last 12 matches overall, and they’ll be up against a Leverkusen outfit who are pushing for a top four finish this term.
Seven defeats out of these last 12 matches has resulted in Schalke just treading water in mid-table of the Bundesliga, 10 points above the relegation play-off spot and seven points adrift of a top six spot, and the hosts have been drifting for some time.
Nevertheless, their results at home haven’t been all bad as Schalke possess a home record of 5-6-4 18/22 and although they’ve failed to win any of their last five matches at home, they’ve generally avoided heavy defeats as only 3 of Schalke’s 15 home matches have seen them lose by 2+ goals.
Bayer Leverkusen Preview – Can Leverkusen bounce back at Schalke?
5th placed Bayer Leverkusen’s plans of lifting themselves up into a possible top four spot went well and truly out of the window in last weekend’s 4-2 defeat at home to Bayern Munich, but Leverkusen have another chance to redeem themselves at Schalke this Sunday.
Recent overall results have generally been pretty good for Leverkusen as the visitors have won seven of their last 10 matches in the Bundesliga, but as yet they’ve been unable to break into the top four as the occasional defeat lets them down, but they have a good opportunity to knock on the door of a top four spot this weekend.
With just one defeat out of their last eight matches on their travels within an overall away record that stands at 10-1-4 28/19, Leverkusen look well placed to bounce back with a win here but the odds for an away win are too low – plus, only once in their previous 35 visits to the VELTINS-Arena have Bayer Leverkusen beaten Schalke by two clear goals (December 1979).
