Round number 14 Bundesliga derby ends with a great tradition, the Veltins-Arena in Gelsenkirchen. I mean confrontation between Schelke and Leverkusen.
Schalke
A bad start the season, but lately it is in comeback form.
He lost only once in the last eight rounds, but then leader against Leipzig. Ranked eighth in the Bundesliga.
He won the Europa League group loosely and Thursday in Salzburg has spared the holders.
He won the last seven games played at home, regardless of race.
The attack is the strength, averaging over two successes on home game.
Coke, Howedes, Uchida di Santo Embolo and Huntelaar will miss this match.
Probable team: Fährmann – Riether, Naldo, Nastasi – Geis – Schapf, Kolasinac – Goretzka, Bentaleb – M. Meyer – Choupo-Moting.
Leverkusen
Not impressed in this championship and we find in ninth place, on equal points with today’s opponent.
It has done well in the Champions League but where the last groups.
Shape the moment I do not recommend. No win three stages in the championship.
It looks good in attack, but defense is the weak point.
It had oscillated on foreign land so far and is unpredictable.
Bellarabi, L. Bender, Kampl, Mehmedi and Volland are absentees from the camp guests.
Probable team: Leno – Henrichs, Tah, Toprak, Wendell – Baumgartlinger, Aranguiz – Calhanoglu, Brandt – Chicharito, Kiebling.
direct meetings
We have a rich history here, with 67 meetings.
18 is Schalke success, while Bayer was required by 29 times.
In the last championship Leverkusen has collected four points from the two meetings.
| Prediction: | Over 2,5 goals |
| Odds: | 1,87 |
