Schalke analysis
The air for Schalke 04 in the Bundesliga is getting thinner and thinner. The Knappen remained without a win in the last 5 Bundesliga games, even if the result was goalless draws at home against Cologne and in Moenchengladbach. In the past 69 Bundesliga games, the Gelsenkircheners only won 5 ! So we can't predict a home win against Wolfsburg. In the last 13 league games, only 1 was a complete success. Under Thomas Reis there have been 5 defeats and only 1 win in 8 games since October.
Schalke collected only 2 wins and 5 draws in 12 defeats in 19 matches this Bundesliga season. In 10 home appearances there were only 2 wins and a draw with 6 bankruptcies. This makes Gelsenkirchen the weakest home team in this Bundesliga . The Royal Blues remained without a win in the last 3 home games (1 D, 2 L) with 0:2 against Bayern, 1-6 against Leipzig and 0:0 against Cologne.
The last home win came in November against Mainz. The weakest offensive in the Bundesliga only produced 10 goals in 10 home games and conceded 25 goals. The Royal Blues conceded goals in 8 of the 10 home games, in 7 even at least double. In 6 home games you had to take hits in both halves of the game. FC Schalke scored almost 3/4 of the goals of the season at home, but also conceded almost 2/3 of the goals at home . Nevertheless, 3 quarters of the season's points were won at home.
Wolfsburg analysis
VfL slipped off the road to success in the past few weeks, and the Wolves now want to find their way back to Schalke. Coach Niko Kovac's team lost the last two Bundesliga games in Bremen and against Bayern after winning six in a row. These were defeats 5 and 6 of the season after 8 wins and 5 draws in the Bundesliga. For the Lower Saxony this meant a setback in the fight for the European Cup places.
Wolfsburg won 3 of the last 4 away games before bankruptcy at the Weser followed. This was the 4th away loss of the season after 4 wins and 2 draws. This puts VfL in 5th place in the away table. The Wolves have scored in the last 12 league games and scored at least double goals in 9 of the last 10 matches . Wolfsburg alone could score more than 2.5 goals at Schalke.
In 10 guest appearances, the Kovac team scored 15 goals with 12 goals conceded. Lower Saxony have the 4th best defense in the Bundesliga. In 5 of the last 8 games, Wolfsburg didn't allow anything behind , only in the last two encounters there were at least two goals conceded. Both teams can only score in 40% of away games, in half of the games away from home they remain under 2.5 goals.
Schalke - Wolfsburg: What to expect?
Wolfsburg remained undefeated in the last 6 direct duels and secured 4 of the last 5 encounters. Schalke was only able to win 3 times in the past 10 comparisons. The Wolves have won the last two guest appearances in Gelsenkirchen and have only won these two away games in the past 12.
After our detailed analysis, we predict the Wolfsburg away win. Schalke keep up until the break, in the second half the guests from Lower Saxony secure the success. A more risky bet is for the Wolves alone to score more than 2.5 goals.
- Wolfsburg to win
- Over 2.5
- Wolfsburg to score Over 2.5
