Schalke 04, who have the most conceded goals (35) in Bundesliga, have only managed 0 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses from their games here at VELTINS-Arena. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in twelve attempts.
