In the following round of the German Bundesliga season, Schalke will take on Wolfsburg at the Veltins-Arena on Friday. The home team is currently in the relegation zone after having a difficult season in the Premier League.
Last time out, they drew 0-0 with struggling Borussia Monchengladbach, and after an encouraging performance, they may feel that they deserved more from the match. With just 11 points scored thus far, Schalke is at the bottom of the league table.
They will be anxious to score as many points as possible this weekend and begin their search for safety. Wolfsburg, on the other hand, has performed admirably this season but has recently experienced difficulties.
After losing 2-1 to Union Berlin and 4-2 to 10-man Bayern Munich in their league game on Sunday, they were eliminated from the DFB Pokal last week. The visitors are currently seventh in the Bundesliga standings with 29 points from 19 games this season.
This weekend, they will try to recover from their most recent setbacks and get their campaign back on track.

Schalke vs Wolfsburg Prediction :
Schalke have drawn their last two league games and is winless in their last five. They may struggle this weekend, having won just one home game since October of last year. Wolfsburg is looking forward to this weekend’s matchup with Schalke, despite losing their previous three games.
They should win this one because they have only lost one of their last six away-league games.
Prediction: Schalke 0-2 Wolfsburg
Schalke vs Wolfsburg Head to head :
Between Schalke and Wolfsburg, 48 meetings have taken place. In those games, the hosts have won 17, while the visitors have only won one. The two teams have drawn 15 times, with their most recent encounter ending goalless. In their last six matches, the visitors have never lost.
In their previous four encounters, the hosts have failed to score a goal. This season, Schalke has scored just eight points at home, which is the fewest in the German Bundesliga. Die Werkself has lost four of its six league games this season away from home.
With just 14 goals scored, the Royal Blues have the worst offensive record in the Bundesliga this season.
Schalke vs Wolfsburg Team news :
Due to serious knee injuries, Schalke will continue to be without Justin Heekeren, Sebastian Polter, and Danny Latza. However, Sepp van den Berg returned to exercise this week after healing from ligament damage.
However, given that the Liverpool loanee has not played in four months, it is unlikely that he will be rushed back into the first team. After missing his team’s match against Gladbach due to illness, Marcin Kaminski should be available for selection.
Reis is unlikely to make any changes after an encouraging performance at Borussia Park last weekend. After bringing Lukas Nmecha back from the bench during their defeat to Bayern, Wolfsburg appears to have a fully-fit team.
After suffering a serious knee injury at the beginning of November, the forward for Germany was unable to play for his country at the World Cup in Qatar, so he may be moved to the opposing team like van den Berg.
Kovac used a 3-5-2 system against the Bavarians on Sunday. However, given that his team gave up three goals in the first 20 minutes and Maxence Lacroix was replaced by Kaminski by the former Croatian international after only half an hour, that change may be made right away against Schalke.
