Bayer Leverkusen take on the visitors Schalke 04 at “BayArena” in the gameweek 24 of the German Bundesliga. The match will be played in Leverkusen on Sunday, February 25th.
At the moment Bayer Leverkusen share the fourth-fifth places with RB Leipzig in the elite division standing, having gained 38 points with 43-30 goal difference after 23 encounters played. However, the side slowed down in February, having gained 0:0 draw against Freiburg, 0:2 loss from Hertha Berlin and only in third clash succeeded to beat Hamburger SV with 2:1 scoreline. “Die Werkself” won only two out of six latest clashes conducted in front of their supporters within the Bundesliga. Moreover, the team has managed to earn only five victories alongside with four draws and two defeats in 11 home tackles which is quite disappointing statistics for it. And it should be also noted that Lars Bender is injured while Wendell and Jonathan Tah stay under the question which may cause problems for the club in the upcoming fight as they usually belong to the line-up performers.

In their turn, Schalke broke Hoffenheim in the latest match and currently settle on the sixth position in the Bundesliga table with 37 points taken and 36-30 goal difference after 23 rounds behind. “Die Knappen” showed confident performance against their neighbours in the standings, having failed only twice in eight those battles. As for the side’s results on the road, “Die Konigsblauen” recorded four triumphs, three draws and four losses in 11 away clashes.
Bayer Leverkusen and Schalke 04 are the great sides which are quite successful in this season, showing nearly the same level. And even though the home-field factor plays an important role, still, the rivals’ statistics at the home ground and on the road do not differ dramatically plus “Die Knappen” are able to demonstrate tough defense, thus, I believe that the visitors will manage to deserve at least a draw in Leverkusen.
Prediction for the match: Schalke to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
