Schalke 04 showed some signs of life in January, winning Wolfsburg and drawing against Hertha Berlin; then in February, they receded again and attained only 1 point in 4 recent rounds. The side’s losses to Bayern Munich and Borussia Monchengladbach in the national league and to Manchester City in the Champions League were not a surprise, even the fans treated those with understanding. But after the 2 last defeats to the twelfth-placed Mainz and especially the one to the eleventh-placed Fortuna in the previous round (Schalke featured a 0:4 home loss), the fans’ patience was over, and they demonstrated their emotions to the team and the manager as they could during the match. Following their charitable play, Schalke sit 14th, 9 points off the relegation zone and 4 points above the play-offs.
Tellingly, ‘Die Konigsblauen’’s Friday travel to Bremen may turn a success, as the hosts are about to lose. Indeed, they regularly rack up 1 point in the match, but they are very close to a defeat. In the last-round outing in Wolfsburg, they survived 15 minutes before the whistle. Before, they scored to Hertha in Berlin only on the 96th minute and leveled the score. In the Cup tier against Borussia Dortmund, they played back yet on the 119th minute. The team cannot be that lucky all the time – the fortune will leave them sooner or later.
Schalke had a week to bounce back. They really enjoy their trips to Bremen. In 10 last travels there, they conceded only once and registered 6 victories. The guests on the day will probably play their best to bring some points home. Though the hosts are winless in 9 latest clashes, they were victors only twice – over Augsburg, running 1 line below them, and over Hannover, sitting second-last.
Prediction for the match: Schalke 04 to win or Draw.
