Augsburg take on the visitors Schalke in the round 7 match of German Bundesliga. The match will be played at WWK Arena on Saturday, October 15th.
Augsburg have quite solid start of the campaign. For now, they don’t look like contenders for a place in eurocups but they shouldn’t be involved in relegation battle either. The hosting side took seven points in the league matches so far, sitting on the 12th place of the standings. Three home matches got the hosting side only three points after 1-0 win over Darmstadt and losses to Wolfsburg, 0-2 and Mainz, 1-3.

Schalke had the worst possible start in the league, losing their first five matches. However, the team proved they deserved better place in the league with confident 4-0 win over one of the strongest teams in Germany, Borussia Monchengladbach. That were their first points in season 2016/17 and they allowed Schalke to move up to 16th place. Of course, the team show horrible results on the road, losing to Eintracht, 0-1, Hertha, 0-1, and Hoffenheim, 1-2.
Augsburg and Schalke played six head-to-heads in recent years. Three of these games ended with draws, Schalke were stronger two time and one match ended with win of the hosting side. Recent matches of Europa League and win over Gladbach suggest that Schalke found balance and ready to move up ot upper side of the standings starting this match.
Prediction for the match: Schalke to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
