Schalke will take on Real Madrid in a pre-season friendly at VELTINS-Arena on Sunday afternoon. Seven goals were scored the last time these sides met, and our prediction is that there will be goals at both ends in this match as well.
Schalke are looking forward to a big season, having won the second division title last term to earn promotion back to the Bundesliga after a three-year absence.
Die Königsblauen have had a solid pre-season, winning four matches in a row and scoring two or more goals in each of those victories before losing 3-0 to Atalanta at home last weekend.
However, prior to that loss to La Dea, the hosts were unbeaten in 15 home games across all competitions (W12 D3) dating back to September 2025 against Holstein Kiel.
Meanwhile, José Mourinho is back at the helm at Real Madrid, and the Special One has been tasked with getting the Spanish giants back on track after a trophyless 2025-26 season.
Los Blancos have won three and drawn one of their four pre-season matches. Los Blancos are now unbeaten in their last seven matches in all competitions since losing to Barça in mid-May.
The visitors won both matches at this venue in the Champions League in 2014 and 2015, and scored eight goals combined in those games.

Our Schalke 04 vs Real Madrid Prediction
Schalke were exceptional in the second tier last season when they earned promotion back to the top flight. This is by far their toughest pre-season opponent, but they have built up good momentum coming into this clash.
Real Madrid are likely to be close to full strength here, as this is their final warm-up match before the 2026-27 La Liga season kicks off. The visitors should win this one, but we fancy the hosts to get on the scoresheet. Our Schalke vs Real Madrid prediction is BTTS.
