Bayern showed us how lethal they can be at times in the 8-0 thrashing of Hamburg on Saturday. They defeated Arsenal 5-1 in the previous home match and Schalke will be next on the firing line.
Schalke were held to a 1-1 draw by Hoffenheim on the weekend which extended their unbeaten run in the league to four matches. However, they managed to win just once during the period, with 3 of them being draws. Also, Schalke registered just 2 league wins from their 11 matches since the start of December, with the remaining 8 split across 4 wins and draws each.
Carlo Ancelotti’s men overcame Augsburg and Wolfsburg in the previous two rounds and both matches were played at the Allianz Arena. On the other hand, Schalke had easy draws against second division sides Nurnberg and Sandhausen and they were playing away on both occasions.
Bayern Munich vs Schalke 04: Head-to-head stats
The overall head-to-head is dominated by Bayern by a fair distance. But Schalke did manage to get a 1-1 draw in their most recent visit to the Allianz Arena on 4th February. They are one of the three teams that denied Bayern a home win in this season’s Bundesliga.
It is also worth mentioning that Schalke defeated Bayern 1-0 when the teams clashed for the last time in a DFB Pokal match at Munich.
Bayern Munich vs Schalke 04: Prediction
It is hard to see anyone coming to Allianz Arena and return with a win. Schalke had played some good football at times, but are too far away from their usual best. Winning has been a problem for the Gelsenkirchen outfit and against a Bayern Munich, who scored 13 goals in last two home games, they have little chance for a positive result like in previous visit.
