Schalke hosts Bayern Munich in round 18 of the German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Sunday, January 24th at Veltins Arena (Gelsenkirchen)
A terrible season for the club from Gelsenkirchen, where it is the last in the Bundesliga standings. In the round before last, Schalke gained its first victory in 15 rounds, beating Hoffenheim (4:0). But it was immediately followed by two defeats to Eintracht (1:3) and FC Koln (1:2). Since December 2020, the Swiss specialist Christian Gross has been working with the team, and the bosses expect positive results from him. The club tried to strengthen its roster through rental deals by inviting Kolasinac, Paciencia, Ludewig, and Ronnow. Unfortunately, this is not enough to fix the tournament situation. The team has such strong players as Kabak, Nastasic, Serdar, Harit, and Uth. These guys clearly shouldn't be on the bottom line in the Bundesliga.

The reigning champions of the country and the holders of the national cup and the Champions League trophy are holding a successful season with the prospects of repeating last year's success. In the Bundesliga, Flick's charges are again leading in the standings. Beyond that, Bayern Munich will play in the Champions League playoffs, but the team has already completed its performances in the German Cup. Bayern is in good shape, regularly gains victories, and has a significant advantage over its competitors (4-point margin). An excellent squad was selected in Munich, and the coaching staff has high-class players in all positions. The old-timers of Bayern are the current leaders (Lewandowski, Alaba, Müller, Kimmich, Neuer, Gnabry, and Boateng). However, the talented Goretzka, Davies, and Musiala are progressing either.
5 years ago, such a game would have become a central match in European football, but now it is a typical confrontation between an outsider and the main favorite of the league. Schalke has a terrible championship - 7 points scored, only one victory, and real prospects of parting with the elite. Flick's men must succeed with a big lead.
Prediction for the match: Bayern Munich to win with -1.5 handicap
