Schalke 04 hosts Borussia Monchengladbach in round 18 of German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Friday, January 17th at Veltins Arena (Gelsenkirchen)
Schalke will host one of the leaders of the German championship. The last few head-to-head meetings of the teams cannot be called over-productive. The statistics of Schalke’s home matches in this season speak in favor of its goal. The Miners couldn’t hit the opponents' goal in only two home games (against Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich). And of course, the support of native stands should play its role.

Borussia will have a difficult visit to Gelsenkirchen. Over the past 17 years, the Foals have managed to gain victory in only three meetings at Veltins Arena. But this is only a historical summary of the match. Now the team from Monchengladbach is second in the league. It scores in almost every away match of this season. There were no goals scored in only three away matches.
The teams will hold the first official match this year. The first leg match ended in a goalless draw. I think we should expect goals from both teams in this match. Schalke can’t boast of a very reliable defense in home games. 11 goals were conceded in nine matches. At the same time, the Gelsenkirchen team didn’t forget about the net of its opponents. As I already mentioned, goals were not scored in only two home games. At the same time, the attack of Borussia can pass the defense of the hosts at least once. My choice derived from an unstable game in the defense and good performers in the attack. My bet is “Both teams to score – yes”.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score - yes
