In their turn, Bayer Leverkusen occupy the 10th position in the Bundesliga table with seven points taken and 12-10 goal difference. In the new season of the German elite division, the club managed to pick up points in their clashes against SC Freiburg 4:0, Hamburger SV 3:0 and Hoffenheim 2:2, having lost in rest of the fights. 3:0 triumph over Karlsruher allowed Bayer Leverkusen to qualify to the next stage of the DFB Pokal. Heiko Herrlich's team hosted four encounters, having failed in three games in the Bundesliga and broke Karlsruher with 3:0 scoreline in the DFB Pokal.
The rivals are nearly the same level. The home-field factor may play a decisive role in the Friday clash and it is in favour of Schalke 04. Bayer Leverkusen show mediocre results on the road in this season.
Prediction for the match: Schalke 04 to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
