ANALYSIS AND PREDICTION FOR SCHALKE - GLADBACH
Schalke have not played very well in their last 2 Bundesliga matches before the break. There was some hesitation in defense due to some players being injured, some of them still out. Sane will probably not be able to take part in the match, but Schalke is still with only one loss at home, and that is from Bayern. If they did not have so many draws, the miners could have been ahead in the standings and even fight for the title, though they are not far from 1st place now.
Borussia M’Gladbach are 2 points behind Leipzig in 2nd place. Marco Rose is the typical modern young coach from the German academy who follows in the footsteps of Klopp and will probably end up in a top club soon. In the last game for the first time we saw some weaknesses in Gladbach’s attack when they failed to even score a goal vs Hertha, who closed very well and it was difficult for Borussia to even create chances.
Expert view : Usually in such meetings we see a defensive approach from Gladbach. They really would not want to lose because they are nowhere near the 5th, which is Schalke. The difference can only be 2 points if miners win the match. The real goal for the both teams is the top 4, so they will probably approach carefully. Schalke have good defense at home and the same can be said about Borussia’s defense in such type of matches, so we will bet on Under 3.0 – Goal Line at 1.70.
4 of the last 5 games between Schalke and Gladbach have finished with under 2.5 goals
