Schalke 04 vs Eintracht Prediction

Schalke 04 Form

Schalke 04 are looking to bounce back from a recent setback and get back to winning ways. In their last three matches, they first took out Werder Bremen by 2-1, before beating Mainz 05 by 2-3. The winning streak came to an end against Bayern Munich, who ran out 6-0 winners. Schalke 04 won half of their previous six matches on home soil in the Bundesliga, while also drawing two. They suffered one defeats, while they scored 11 and conceded nine goals.

They went into the season as candidates for the drop, and unfortunately for Schalke 04, they have lived up to expectations. As the season draws to a close, they are still in with a chance of escaping relegation, though.

Eintracht Form

Results have been up and down for Eintracht, who beat VfB Stuttgart by 2-3. Following that up proved too difficult, as they lost 3-1 against Hoffenheim, before claiming three points in a 3-0 win against Mainz 05. Eintracht didn't manage a single away win in their last six Bundesliga matches, but managed one draws, while suffering five defeats. They conceded 16 and scored five goals themselves.

Eintracht were hoping to qualify for Europe, but this target looks increasingly difficult to reach, as we are reaching the business end of the season.

Head-to-head encounters tend to bring out the best in both sides, and we fully expect the trend to continue, when Schalke 04 renew Eintracht their acquaintance.

Eintracht recorded five wins from their last 11 games against teams placed in the bottom six and collected 19 points. They scored 20 goals while conceding 14. Schalke 04 claimed seven wins, nine draws as well as 16 defeats in the Bundesliga this season. Eintracht put 12 wins, ten draws and ten defeats on the board in the Bundesliga.
