Schalke’s chastening return to the Bundesliga could be extended on matchday two when they host the free-scoring champions Bayern Munich. This match on Saturday at the Veltins Arena in Gelsenkirchen between the 16th-placed ‘Royal Blues’ and the 1st-placed ‘Bavarians’ is likely to be an exciting game full of goals. That’s why our match prediction is over 3.5 goals to be scored.
Bayern had the best result of matchday one, with their four-margin victory guaranteeing the top spot. Schalke start this round in the relegation zone, being one of the three sides to lose on matchday one without scoring.
A 3-0 defeat and a red card summed up Schalke’s struggles last weekend on their return to the Bundesliga. The regular time draw in the DFB-Pokal tie before that means they are now winless within 90 minutes in competitive action.
There’s hope on the home front, as Schalke are unbeaten in their last 14 games here (W11, D3), although extending that against Bayern could be challenging.
Bayern are coming off a 4-1 win over VfL Osnabruck in their midweek DFB-Pokal Cup game. That was preceded by a 5-1 win over Stuttgart on matchday one, which meant the Bavarians have won eight games in a row, including friendlies.
Being on the road doesn’t take the sting out of Bayern, who have won their last four away league games.
