Schalke take on the visitors Augsburg in the round 24 match of German Bundesliga. The game will be played on Sunday, March 12th at Veltins Arena (Gelsenkirchen).
Schalke are suffering a crisis as the team is unable to win for six matches in a row starting the middle of February. The team recorded four defeats and two draws in these games. The team has faced Borussia Monchengladbach in their last two matches, losing Bundesliga clash, 2-4, and drawing in Europa League, 1-1. Schalke are now only 13th in the league with 27 points gained in 23 matches and only four points ahead of teams in relegation zone, which is unacceptable for Schalke, who used to battle for top placed in Bundesliga. The hosts of the match gained 20 points in 12 matches at home with 19 goals scored and 11 allowed.

Augsburg showed nice results in recent league matches, beating Darmstadt, 2-1, and drawing with Red Bull Leipzig, 2-2. Such results allowed the team to move ahead of the hosting side and sit on 12th position with 28 points gained. The team has quite nice away record with 15 points gained in 11 matches with 11-11 aggregate goal difference.
Schalke are more successful in head-to-heads between teams but we should note that Augsburg avoid defeats in clashes with today’s hosts since 2014, for four matches in a row. Schalke are skilled team and they deserve much higher position so we can expect them to convert home-field advantage into a victory.
Prediction for the match: Schalke to win.
