Venue: BayArena, Leverkusen, Germany

Referee: Daniel Siebert

Bayer Leverkusen and Schalke clash against each other at Bay Arena in what will be the 24th round of installation in the German Bundesliga.

Bayer Leverkusen are fourth in the table with 38 focuses while Schalke are 6th in the table with 37 focuses. The contrast between the second set, and the 6th place group in the Bundesliga is only 3 focuses. What’s more, with each passing diversion week, the table is by all accounts consistently fluctuating – such has been the savagery of the opposition at the best end of the table.

So this match is apparently a six-pointer between the two sides who both seek to complete in the Champions alliance playing spots for the following season. The triumph of either group will make them separated further from the pursuing pack, conveying the victor nearer to the Champions League spot. Henceforth, this is a monstrous amusement in the possibility of generally as well as due to the ramifications of the aftereffect of this diversion.

Bayer Leverkusen vs Schalke Prediction

It is a very tough match to predict the final scoreline between the two teams. What we can predict for sure is only that this will be one of the most entertaining games of the weekend.

Schalke have a more miserable record away from home this season, and that may shift the balance slightly in favor of the home team. But given the magnitude of the game and looking at what is at stake for both of the sides, it will be discriminatory to adjudge either of the teams as the favorites.

There is also not much to separate the two teams regarding both individual or collective quality and even regarding recent run of forms.

So considering everything, we predict that they will play an entertaining draw against each other just like last time around in the reverse fixture.

Bayer Leverkusen vs Schalke Prediction: 2-2
