The 31st round of the German Bundesliga will be opened by an encounter between Bayer and Schalke, the two teams, which are fighting for a spot in the Europa League, and not very successfully for now. Bookmakers consider Bayer clear favorites in the couple, and one can agree with such action line, considering Schalke’s inability to play away.
Bayer are on the twelfth position in Bundesliga’s tournament table after 30 played rounds. The Pharmacists have 36 points in the asset and eight-point handicap from Freiburg and the Europa League zone. Bayer managed to win only once with two draws and three defeats within the last six matches. The losses happened against Hoffenheim, Leipzig and Freiburg and the split of points happened against Wolfsburg and Bayern. The Pharmacists have had 15 matches within the Championship of Germany, having five victories with five draws and five defeats.
Schalke are clearly a domestic team this season. The Blues have had 14 away matches, in which they got two victories with four draws and eight defeats and only ten points were gained in the matches. Within the last six Bundesliga matches, Schalke won twice with two draws and two defeats.
The upcoming game for Bayer is one of the last chances to get into the Europa League zone. The defeat or even a draw in the clash against Schalke will practically put an end to the Pharmacists’ ambitions. Bayer are unstable, but the team is capable of defeating anybody at their home ground, while Schalke, in their turn, are very weak in away games.
Prediction for the match: Bayer to with 0.0 Asian handicap.
