The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Schalke 04 are in the 8th position while the guesting Augsburg worry at 14th.

Schalke 04 form and stats

Schalke 04 have collected 21 points from their Bundesliga home games so far after 5-6-2.

No payout for Schalke in their previous match, an away game at Borussia Dortmund that ended in defeat 0-4. In the match before that, Schalke hosted Hoffenheim and drew the game 1-1.

Schalke were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Schalke 04 have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eleven games) they have won six times, drawn three and lost two.

There will be little rest for Schalke 04 after this match as they are travelling to Fortuna Dusseldorf for a Bundesliga game in only three days.

Schalke has scored 18 league goals at home this season, in 13 matches. On the other hand, Schalke 04 have conceded 18 goals.

Augsburg form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Augsburg so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 2-3-8 (win-draw-lose). A depressing five defeats in a row for Augsburg in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Hoffenheim. With the Augsburg losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.

Augsburg failed to get anything from their last game, a Bundesliga home match vs Wolfsburg (placed 6th) that ended with defeat 1-2. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Bayern München wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

Late heartbreak for Augsburg in the Wolfsburg match, as the deciding 1-2 goal came deep into overtime.

Augsburg are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, three draws and four defeats. From a total of eight matches.

A quick return to home after this game, as Augsburg are hosting Paderborn in the Bundesliga only three days away.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Augsburg as they have only managed to score 12 times from 13 away games in the league. Augsburg have conceded 31 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

The two sides played each other earlier this season: Augsburg - Schalke 2-3. Last ten meetings between the teams: Schalke won four, Augsburg won one and five draws. five games with over 2,5 goals, five matches with two goals or less.
