Schalke Preview – Can Schalke finally get off mark?
Having failed to win any of their league matches so far in this season’s Bundesliga campaign, Sunday’s hosts, Schalke, remain firmly rooted at the bottom of the German top flight with just three points under their belts, thanks to three draws.
Stalemates with Union Berlin, Stuttgart and Mainz have been the only highlights in what has otherwise been a torrid time for Schalke who have already shipped a total of 28 goals within their first nine matches of the season.
The bigger picture paints an even bleaker picture for Schalke as the hosts have failed to win any of their last 25 matches in the Bundesliga, so the prospects of a home win here this Sunday against high-flying outfit, Bayer Leverkusen, look fairly remote.
Bayer Leverkusen Preview – Can Leverkusen move into 2nd spot?
A disappointing 0-0 draw at home with Hertha Berlin resulted in Bayer Leverkusen dropping down to 4th place in the Bundesliga but the visitors nevertheless extended their unbeaten start to the season to nine matches and know they have a golden opportunity to grab all three points here.
This solid start to the new season also includes a five-match winning streak which saw Leverkusen pick up wins against Mainz, Augsburg, Freiburg, Borussia Moenchengladbach and Arminia Bielefeld.
Leverkusen have also lost just once out of their last 12 matches away from home and the visitors look the more likely to find a way to win here than their hosts.
