On Thursday night, at 18:00, at Gelsenkirchen, Schalke play against Nice, in a match of round # 5 Europa League groups.
After an incredibly poor start to the season, Schalke began to rebound, evolving at the same level for 10 consecutive matches. His last win came just days ago when ordered with Wolfsburg 1-0 in a Bundesliga match. Markus Weinizierl team during the Champions League was impeccable, Schalke managed four wins from as many matches. Huntelaar & Co. They are in first place in Group I, and already adjudecandu qualification in the European spring, after passing the Krasnodar 2-0 in a match sustained in the previous round, also on ‘Veltins Arena’. Moreover, Schalke have five consecutive victories at home, in front of teams like Gladbach (4-0), Mainz (3-0) and Bremen (3-1).
On the other side, Nice and it comes after a victory, 1-0 Saint Etienne, a movement very difficult., Thus helping it to stay ahead of Ligue 1.Contrar very good journey national championship, not Nice rise to the level expected in Group I, where last country, with 3 points, with goal difference -5. Furthermore, Balotelli and his colleagues have missed the opportunity in the previous round was a tie in points on second ranked team, losing 0-2 to Salburg. Thus, Nice is a difference of three points from Krasnodar, the team ranked second, with two stages before the end of the group phase.
The tour was 1-0 for Schalke, a result quite expected to look as if the two have evolved along this competitiveness. This time I think Schalke is more thinking about the match against Darmstadt, at the end of last week and I do not think we’ll see a royal football. Meanwhile, nor from Nice I do not expect to see great show, just for this reason inclined toward a hollow version of one hand can not.
Forecasts Schalke – Nice: both marks & over 2.5 goals – NO share 1.64
