Football Results

More than 20 points difference clearly shows what season Wolfsburg and Schalke have. The guests are in the second place before this round and are a serious candidate for direct placement in the Champions League, although the point difference is small and there should be no relaxation. Wolfsburg definitely must not relax, especially because this team has won the same number of points as Mainz, and they are in a position to play for survival. Wolfsburg has not celebrated in six rounds, while Schalke has made four triumphs. In the first part of the season it was 1-1, while Schalke celebrated with 1-0 in the Cup.

Wolfsburg

The worst situation for the Wolves is that the season is coming to an end and this team’s survival is endangered, which makes these two matches very uncertain and that can easily mean elimination from the league. It would be a catastrophe for this rich club with a team that is certainly worth placement in European competitions, however, they are not playing very well and that is practically since the beginning of the season.

Even change of coach and by the arrival of Labbadia has not brought much improvement, because they recorded a draw and two defeats in three rounds. He sat on the bench after a minimal and unlucky defeat by Bayern, and they immediately won a point in Mainz, but then they suffered a home defeat from Bayer and there was a 3-0 debacle against Hoffenheim in the previous round. Brekalo and Arnold stayed on the bench, and William was not there due to suspension but he now returns, as well as Arnold, while Steffen and Dimata will be refreshments in the team.

Probable lineups TVfL Wolfsburg: Casteels – Verhaegh, Bruma, Knoche, William – Guillavogui, Bazoer – Steffen, Arnold, Malli – Dimata

Schalke 04

Unlike their host, Schalke is in a rush and now they have four wins in a row, which keeps them in second place on the table. They want to stay there and they need new victories because, for example, the fifth-ranked Eintracht has only four points less and a shorter crisis can mean that they lose the chance to be in the Champions League. Of the four aforementioned wins, three were minimal, but they also received only one goal, while they in the previous three games they did not receive any goals. The best win in the series was the one in Leverkusen, where they celebrated with 2-0, after which they mastered Hertha with 1-0.

In the last round, they came to all three points in Mainz, though they were outplayed in that match. They were not dominant even against Hertha, and a common thins for these two duels is the player and that is D.Caligiuri. In Mainz coach Tedesco made a number of changes and he included Kehrer, McKennie, Schopf and G.Burgstaller. Now we are expecting a series of changes and the return of Oczipka, Goretzke, Stambouli, Meyer and Emboli.

Probable lineups Schalke 04: Fahrmann – Stambouli, Naldo, Nastasic – D.Caligiuri, M.Meyer, Oczipka – Goretzka – di Santo, G.Burgstaller, Embolo

Verdict:

Wolfsburg is under enormous imperative, and Schalke is in a series of victories, and this could certainly be a good match for a triumph, although a draw is not bad in the current situation. However, we expect offensive football from both teams.
