Schalke 04 form and stats

With 1 Bundesliga win, 2 draws and 9 defeats from their home games, Schalke 04, who have the fewest scored goals (16) in Bundesliga, are certainly not brimming with confidence. It's been an uphill battle for Schalke 04 in their home games for quite some time now, as four matches in a row are lost here. Not since the Hoffenheim game have they avoided the disappointment of defeat.

No payout for Schalke in their previous match, an away game at Stuttgart that ended in defeat 1-5. Before that game, the home loss against Borussia Dortmund with the scoreline 0-4.

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. Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Nabil Bentaleb for missing a penalty kick versus Stuttgart in the 72nd minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Schalke here at VELTINS-Arena in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (8 from 12 games). It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Schalke 04 are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (26 from 12 played).
