Wolfsburg vs Schalke 04 Prediction
Wolfsburg have been inconsistent in their last three matches, which added four points to their tally. They claimed a 0-1 win against Carl Zeiss Jena, before drawing 2-2 with Werder Bremen. This little streak came to an end, when Bayern München proved too strong in a 2-0 defeat for Wolfsburg. Wolfsburg claimed a middle-of-the-road three wins in their previous six matches on home soil in the Bundesliga. They also drew two and lost one, as they scored 14 and conceded six goals.
A season somewhat above expectations could perhaps make Wolfsburg a contender in a title race, though they do look capable of a podium finish if catching the right momentum.
Schalke 04 added four points to their account in their previous three matches, starting off beating Bremer SV 0-5. A 3-1 defeat against FC Koln followed, before sharing the points with B. M'gladbach in a 2-2 draw. In their last six Bundesliga away matches, Schalke 04 failed to win even once. In stead, they've drawn zero and lost six, scoring four while also conceding 15 times.
Schalke 04 naturally hope for a top half position come reckoning day next spring, but experts foresee a tough battle ahead in the lower regions of the Bundesliga.
Wolfsburg and Schalke 04 team up on Saturday in a match both will hate to lose. This could be a match that fizzles out in a draw, with both very focused on not risky anything at all.
