Schalke 04

Betting suggestion:

Even playing away from home, Schalke 04 is the favorite for this match, as it has a considerably superior squad and fights among the first placed, while the home team has a low quality squad and has minimal chances of not being relegated. In addition, Schalke 04 is going through a good moment with 7 wins in its last eight games, having won 3 of the last 4 away matches. Koln, meanwhile, has only 1 win in the last 6 home games and is the team that suffered the most goals in this type of situation. In view of these factors, we believe Schalke will conquer the 3 points, although it is prudent to protect against a possible draw as this is the last chance of Koln to continue dreaming of staying in the Bundesliga.

Preview
Köln and Schalke 04 meet at RheinEnergieStadion, in a match for the 31th round of the Bundesliga. These teams have tied (2‑2) in the last head‑to‑head for this edition of the league, played on 02‑12‑2017. At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history favours the home team, since they have a record of 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in the last 4 matches. However, the last time these teams met at this stadium, on 19‑02‑2017, in a match for the Bundesliga, they tied (1‑1). The goals of the match were scored by A. Modeste (43' ), for Köln, and by A. Schöpf (2' ), for Schalke 04. The home advantage may play an important role in this match , since Köln presents significant differences between home and away results.

Analysis Köln

The home team is currently in the 18th position of the league, with 21 points won, after 5 wins, 6 draws and 19 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in a home match against Mainz 05, by (1‑1). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Hertha BSC, by (2‑1). This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 1 draw and 11 losses in away matches; against 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses at their stadium. In the last 10 home league matches Köln has a record of 3 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses, so they have won 12 points out of 30 possible. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 30 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 17 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Koln is making a bad campaign in the German league, is going through a bad time with just 1 win in the last 6 games and desperately needs a win in the next game to try to stay in contention for staying in the Bundesliga. The team has serious problems in both the offensive and defensive systems, having scored only 29 goals, being the fourth worst attack among the 18 Bundesliga teams, and conceded 58 goals, having the defense more leaked, so much so that only in the last 3 rounds, it suffered no less than 9 goals. 
Playing at home, like the Sunday's clash, Koln won only 1 of the last 6 games, has the second worst campaign of the championship and is the team that suffered most goals, showing the enormous difficulty of presenting good performances even in its stadium.
For the clash with Schalke 04, coach Ruthenbeck will not be able to count on striker Zoller because of injury.

Confirmed Lineup: Timo Horn, Frederik Sørensen, Tim Handwerker, Jorge Meré, Dominique Heintz, Marco Höger, Salih Özcan, Jonas Hector, Marcel Risse, Leonardo Bittencourt, Simon Terodde.
Coach: S. Baumgart.

Analysis Schalke 04

The away team is currently in the 2nd position of the league, with 55 points won, after 16 wins, 7 draws and 7 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Hamburger SV, by (3‑2). In the last match, they won in a home match against Borussia Dortmund, by (2‑0). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 8 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses in away matches, with 25 goals scored and 19 conceded; against 10 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses at their stadium, with 23 goals scored and 11 conceded. In their last match, for the DFB Pokal, they got a home loss against Eintracht Frankfurt by (0‑1). In the last 10 away league matches Schalke 04 has a record of 4 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses, so they have won 15 points out of 30 possible. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 30 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 9 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 15 away matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 8 of their 22 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Schalke 04 has been campaigning well in the Bundesliga, is going through a great moment with 7 wins in the last eight matches and is looking for another 3 points to get even closer to qualifying for the UEFA Champions League next season. The team has shown a good balance between the offensive and defensive sectors, having scored 47 goals, being the fifth best attack, and conceded only 33 goals, having the second less leveled defense of the competition, so much that it did not concede goals in 6 of its last 7 Bundesliga matches. 
Playing away from home, such as this Sunday's match, Schalke 04 has won 3 of its last 4 games, has the third best campaign and it is worth noting that it did not concede goals in 4 of the last 6 games, showing again the great strength of its defensive sector that presents great solidity and leaves very few spaces to the opponents. 
For the clash with Koln, coach Domenico Tedesco should repeat the lineup of the last round where he conquered a great victory over Borussia Dortmund, having presented a great football.

Confirmed Lineup: Ralf Fährmann, Bastian Oczipka, Thilo Kehrer, Naldo, Benjamin Stambouli, Daniel Caligiuri, Leon Goretzka, Weston McKennie, Yevhen Konoplyanka, Franco di Santo, Breel Embolo.
Coach: K. Geraerts.
