Wolfsburg hosts Schalke in round 16 of German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Wednesday, December 18th at Volkswagen Arena (Wolfsburg)
It will not be easy for Wolfsburg in the last two matches before the winter break when the Wolves will face Schalke and Bavaria. The fact is that the team’s schedule was exhausting in recent weeks, as it had to balance between the Europa League and the Bundesliga. This will be the third game in a row in the last seven days, so most likely we will see some rotation of the lineup. Given that the Wolves have significant problems with the squad (Mehmedi and Tisserand are injured), they say that the participation of two more men from the first eleven is questionable. Therefore, Wolfsburg's not a very high-quality game is complicated by the tiredness of the players and problems with the length of the bench.

Schalke seems to be not bad this season. Last week the Miners returned to the winning track, having beaten Eintracht with a minimal 1-0 score. Schalke is in the top four so far, so there are no special complaints to them. Schalke has won four of its last six away matches, and the team is in a great mood before the match against Wolfsburg. Besides, Schalke's away games are very productive - five of the last six away matches ended with Over 2.5 goals scored. But most importantly, the away games with Wolfsburg are very successful for Schalke. The Royal Blues won five times in the last seven matches, having played one time in a draw. Thus, I conclude that Wolfsburg is a very convenient opponent for Schalke, especially away!
In my opinion, Wolfsburg will not be able to cope with the load that befell it, while Schalke is fully relaxed before the upcoming match, although the teams are in approximately the same conditions. I am sure that the Wolves will play extremely carefully, preferring to pick up at least one point. But Schalke shows dominant football in the last away matches and breaches the defense of its rivals, monotonously swinging them throughout the game. It is unlikely that Wolfsburg will last for a long time in a game without a ball, so I expect two goals from Schalke.
Prediction for the match: Schalke to score over 1.0 goal
