Schalke 04 form and stats

Disaster struck Schalke last season as they could not defend their status as a Bundesliga team. With 24 defeats from 34 games, and only 3 wins, relegation could not be avoided. Schalke 04 are hopeful of bouncing straight back up, but need to improve upon their home record from last season of W3 D3 L11.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Schalke have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found six matches with the results: Won one, drawn one and lost four.

Schalke 04 have prepared for this season with five friendly games versus mixed opposition. Results from training matches should always be treated with caution, but the takeaways from these five matches are 3 victories, 2 draws and 0 losses. In these games, Schalke have scored 25 goals and conceded 2 times.

Hamburger SV form and stats
