- They lost only 1 time since then and this was 0-4 in Wolfsburg (August 2013).
- But in Wolfsburg's stadium won Schalke only 2 of 19 matches (2-10-7).
- The last time in March 2013 with 4-1.
- Wolfsburg plays the best BL season in their history with 60 Points after 28 Rounds.
- Also in the Season 2008/09 when they became Champion it was 3 Points less to this time.
- Wolfsburg is the best Team of 2015 so far, they collected 26 Points, +16 goals.
- Schalke is one of the weakest teams 2015 with only 14 Points after 11 Rounds.
If we all know, Wolfsburg is doing really well this season and they are close to save the second place. They are 6 Points ahead of Leverkusen and Gladbach and have this game in Hand. If they win here they can take the advantage to 9 Points and also the better goal difference speaks for them what means an additional Point advantage. I am sure if they can not hold the level and they win only 2 of their last 6 games they are sure second. In Europe their run ended on Thursday with a huge defeat against Neapel at home. They never had any chance in this game and it was seen if some of the players are not on their best level or have not their best day what happened. They allow easy goals to a team from Italian who was very aggressiv and press huge and the pressure was to much to avoid mistakes and therefore goals are coming against them. After a lot of matches they can be tired as well above all De Bryne played all matches from beginning on. It is up to Coach Hecking to find the right balance for this encounter and give the players a rest who need but on the other side he must look forward to win this game and hold their excellent advantage alive.
The team from Gelsenkirchen Schalke is doing hard this time and they have a hard season so far. With only a few Points ahead of the other teams who failed huge in recent weeks they had the luck that they are in the position to get an European spot with no help from other teams. But the situation is getting more and more worse if they do not win in the upcoming weeks. With Dortmund coming a team from behind who has the aim to finish 6 or 7. They should be aware of the situation and the time who has come now. This are the most important weeks of the season and they can not allow to lose more Points. Coach Di Matteo has to find the right balance between defensive and offensive but he has to put the focus more on the offensive because they are absolutely harmless there. It he want to get a result here he has to risk some because Wolfsburg score for sure above all at home. With Höger they have a central midfield players suspended, for him can play Hochstädter. Also in offensive he has some options with Sam, Sane, Meyer and Farfan.
I do not say that Wolfsburg is in a must win situation here but if they want to hold the comfortable lead to third place they have to win here and on the other side Schalke is almost in a must win situation after the results from yesterday. Therefore it can be that this match can go wide open if the first goal arrive. The offensive lines from both are good enough to score, although Schalke had some problems there in the past. But after the European match from Wolfsburg it can be that the players are a bit tired if Hecking changes not much and it the legs and head are tired it is not easy to avoid all dangerous situations. I believe in goals in this encounter where both teams have to play forward.
