National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Schweinfurt or Schalke 04 that keep their silverware dream alive.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Bundesliga.
Schweinfurt form and stats
Last season their DFB Pokal adventure ended in the 1st round.Schweinfurt have been very solid at home in the Regionalliga: Bayern so far, with 28 points collected from 11 matches (9-1-1). This has contributed greatly to their 2nd position in the table. Nine out of nine points from the last three home games for Schweinfurt, and the home supporters are ready to scream their lungs out to keep the winning streak alive.
Schweinfurt are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-2 away versus Viktoria Aschaffenburg. A Regionalliga: Bayern defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Heimstetten.
The home team are doomed in this game if you believe the odds offered on Schalke 04 to win. Let's see if Schweinfurt are capable of creating a surprise here by looking at their earlier home games as massive outsiders: one game found revealing zero Schweinfurt wins, zero draws and one defeat.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Schweinfurt, as the Regionalliga: Bayern home game vs Buchbach is only four days away.
The Schweinfurt manager T. Strobl has got the team scoring with 24 from 11 home games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only -1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. From these home matches, Schweinfurt have conceded only 10 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only -1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Schalke 04 form and stats
Schalke was sent out of DFB Pokal in the quarter-finals last season.No Bundesliga points yet away for Schalke 04, from their first 3 matches. Schalke 04 are desperate to end a 22-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Borussia M'gladbach fixture. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in 14 away games in a row.
Schalke's last game was the home draw against Stuttgart (1-1). It was a Bundesliga defeat before that one as the away game against Borussia Dortmund wasn't a success with a 0-3 loss.
Goalkeeper Frederik Rønnow made a total of seven saves, making him a hero against Stuttgart. Heavily contributing to the draw after 90 minutes.
Again, the away team are huge favourites in this match and any other result would be an upset. We checked our Tipsway database for earlier, recent games with Schalke given similar win odds in an away game. This check revealed one match with one win as expected, zero draws and zero surprise home wins. The favourites won one of these games by at least two goals.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Bundesliga trip to Mainz 05.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Schalke 04's away games in the league this season with only 0 goals from 3 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only -1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. The Schalke defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 15 goals in their away games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only -1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
