Prediction
Hoffenheim are out of the relegation battle for now, but have to be
careful in the upcoming weeks. After an impressive win at Gladbach, the
team should be full of confidence.
Schalke have been in impressive form in the last three weeks and need
another result to keep their spot in the top-3. It remains to be seen
how tired their players will be after a difficult Europa League game
during the week.
Expect Hoffenheim to try to take control at home and Schalke to rely on quick combinations on the break.
Hoffenheim 1 - 1 Schalke 04
