Schalke Preview – Can Schalke restore some pride?
Schalke sit rock-bottom of the Bundesliga and have already been relegated from the German top flight despite there being three games of this season left to play and they head into this upcoming clash against Hertha Berlin on the back of three straight defeats on the trot.
Defeats to Freiburg, Arminia Bielefeld and Hoffenheim were also all away from home which hasn’t helped Schalke’s cause and I daresay the hosts will be relieved to be back home for this encounter following a 1-0 win against Augsburg last time out at their VELTINS-Arena.
Results overall though have been poor in what has been a disastrous campaign for Schalke but they do stand a chance of at least keeping the scores close at home against Hertha Berlin as the hosts have won the last two meetings at home on the trot against their visitors.
Hertha Berlin Preview – Can Hertha Berlin extend unbeaten run?
Hertha Berlin are overwhelming favourites for this clash away at Schalke as the visitors bring a six-match unbeaten run into this fixture, but the visitors have actually only won two of these six games overall.
Victories over Bayer Leverkusen and Freiburg were also both on home turf at their Olympiastadion Berlin, while draws with Union Berlin, M’gladbach, Mainz and Arminia Bielefeld make up the other four results but the Berlin side have struggled away from home for some time.
Hertha Berlin are without an away win from 11 outings, losing five of these matches, so although they’ve been touted as favourites, their odds seem way too short for a side who have failed to win any of their last 11 on the road.
