Schalke have made use of Gladbach's recent lack of form and are in the
top-3 again after three wins and one draw in their last four games. A
result against Hannover would be important to solidify the Champions
League spot.
Hannover compete for a Europa League spot themselves and a result would
help them to keep away the several teams chasing them at the moment.
Expect this to be a close game. Both teams might be a bit tired after Europa League games during the week.
Schalke 04 1 - 1 Hannover 96
