Current form FC Schalke 04
FC Schalke 04 continues to head for the Champions League. Currently, they are in strong position with 34 points, only behind Leverkusen and Bayern. The results of the last few weeks and months, with one exception, can absolutely be seen. This exception is the 1: 3 defeat against RB Leipzig. Otherwise, the team of Domenico Tedesco lost since matchday 6 and therefore since September 23 of the year 2017, not a single game. Last weekend an important 2-0 victory against VFB Stuttgart was celebrated, which made it possible to forget the 1-1 draw against Hannover, which was the draw for a better team. Once again you have to mention the Schalke strength in standards, also on the last matchday, both hits were scored after a dormant ball. Above all, Naldo is and remains one of the most dangerous weapons in the entire German Bundesliga. Strong: The “miners” have scored at least once in the last 14 games (!) In a row, a bet tip on the fact that both teams score at least one goal, so is quite an exciting and probably also profitable alternative. At home Schalke has not been unbeaten since not less than 7 games, could defeat, inter alia, Augsburg (3: 2), Hamburg (2: 0) or Mainz (2: 0). Accordingly also teams, which are to be found at present in similar collar size as Werder Bremen. The direct duel with the Hanseatic League does not really allow for a clear forecast for Saturday: Schalke won 6 out of the last 10 clashes, but victories and defeats alternated in the last 4 games against Werder. In the last 5 matches – for all fans of goalbook interesting – more than 2.5 hits, a bet tip, which we recommend for Saturday, however, only conditionally. For sure not to be out on Saturday is Weston McKennie, also Insua and Riether are still injured or injured. Strengths we saw against Stuttgart especially in terms of aggressiveness in midfield and in quick counterattacks. Proof of this: despite only 38 percent possession of the ball, they went against the Swabians as the winner of the place. Not in vain did Caligiuri, Meyer, Oczipka and Harit belong to four midfielders among the best rated players on the pitch.

Current form Werder Bremen
Werder Bremen is currently not rewarded for really strong performances. Accordingly, there is also hope for Saturday: you play mainly forward refreshing football, but it hooks out of the game in terms of conclusion. Most recently, you had to settle for a fiercely drawn match against Hertha from Berlin with a goalless draw, as we predicted. Also in terms of bet tip we have with our recommendation on an over / under bet and less than 2.5 goals right. Before the draw against Hertha, it was enough for Bremen against Bayern for two goals, but you still lost 2-4, even giving a lead from the hand. Before that, it was enough for TSG Hoffenheim for a 1-1 draw, also against Mainz came to a 2-2 draw. Bremen have not met in just one of the last four games, which in turn would suggest a bet on at least one goal for both teams. Overall, we see the North Germans offensively course weaker than Schalke, you have scored in the previous 20 games but only 16 goals and is thus in league comparison on the shared penultimate rank. Even the away balance does not read very well. With 10 attempts the Bremen succeeded only one victory with four draws and 5 defeats. Defensively, however, you put a very stable defense. Overall, Bremen has suffered 25 hits. If you again turn to a league comparison, the following can be observed: After the VFL Wolfsburg Bremen present as currently located on the relegation place team, the second best defense of all teams outside the top-10. Accordingly, it will be difficult for Schalke to score many goals. Last we saw strengths against Hertha especially over the wings. Problems were in contrast to be found in the conclusion: Bremen allowed – again thanks to a stable defensive performance – only 2 shots in 90 minutes, but could not use even one of his total of 7 attempts. Coach Florian Kohfeldt has to do without Fin Bartels, Justin Eilers and Jerome Gondorf on Saturday. Failures that the squad Bremer should be able to catch. Pain could only be the failure of Fin Bartels, who is the second-best scorer and best assisting team member.
