Schalke 04 form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Schalke 04, who have the fewest scored goals (18) in Bundesliga, so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 0-4-10 (win-draw-lose). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in 14 away games in a row.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Schalke, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-4 versus Freiburg (placed 9th). Before that, Schalke secured a home win against Augsburg with the score 1-0.

Schalke lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Schalke when being an outsider away as they are today, we find three matches with the visitors losing two times, drawing one and winning zero games.

A quick return to home after this game, as Schalke are hosting Hertha BSC in the Bundesliga only four days away.

The attacking power of Schalke 04 when travelling is not overwhelming with 9 goals scored from 14 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. There are big problems for the Schalke defense as they have conceded 46 goals in 14 away games.
