Schalke have finally gained nice condition and avoided defeats in their recent four matches in all competitions. The team won three of their last matches, beating Saundhausen, 4-1, Hertha Berlin, 2-0, and PAOK in away Europa League clash on Thursday, 3-0. The most recent win in Greece almost guaranteed Schalke the place in the round of 16 of the eurocup. The team is currently 11th in the league with 25 points gained in 20 matches. The team show poor results in matches on the road this season in Bundesliga, taking only one win in nine matches and gaining six points on the road.
Koln have won four out of recent five head-to-heads between the team, including the reverse one, 3-1. Considering this record, poor results of Schalke on the road and excellent results of Koln at home, we should expect the hosting side to be closer to a victory in upcoming match:
Prediction for the match: Koln to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
