Schalke LDDLLL 📉

Since being beaten in their last game against Freiburg in Bundesliga 1 action, Schalke will be aiming to make amends here.

👥 Head to head

Looking at past results between these clubs stretching back to 10/02/2018 tells us that these fixtures have not been fruitful for Schalke. They’ve not managed to come away with any victories whatsoever while Bayern Munich have been dominant against them, beating them in 100% of those matches played.

A combined total of 18 goals were scored between them during those clashes, with 16 of them for Bayern and 2 netted by Schalke. The average number of goals per game works out to 3.

🧠 Prediction

When taking all factors into account, Bayern Munich will most probably stay in control for long periods of time and should be able to convert a few of the chances that they create.

At the other end, Schalke will not find it easy to get a goal of their own although we do think that they will probably end up pulling one back during this clash, too.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a comfortable 3-1 winning margin for Bayern Munich come full-time.
