Match preview
All attention turns to the battle in the relegation spots this weekend as last-placed Schalke welcomes 14th-placed Stuttgart to their own patch with the home side aiming to pull the away outfit closer to the bottom three.
A topsy-turvy run of form has seen Stuttgart move into 14th recently, as they managed to smash Koln 3-0 last weekend. Gil Dias netted after just nine minutes, before Borna Sosa and Tanguy Coulibaly scored in the second half.
It keeps Bruno Labbadia’s men just above the relegation play-off spot in 16th by only goals difference, although they do boast of a +17 better goals difference over Bochum. Nevertheless, dropped points here could be disastrous for Labbadia’s side.
Quite incredibly, Schalke head into this game off the back of four goalless games in a row. Positively, this has meant their longest run without letting in a goal all season, but it has still turned in just four points.
They now sit behind Stuttgart by six points and they are also behind Hertha Berlin in 17th by four points. In reality, anything but a win here would be nothing short of a nightmare for a club already at the foot of the table.
