Schalke 04 vs Stuttgart Prediction: Schalke have a trick in the bag

Schalke 04 welcome Stuttgart to the VELTINS-Arena for a Bundesliga match. Schalke played out another 0-0 draw against Union Berlin, that was their 4th draw in a row, while Stuttgart were back on point with a 3-0 win against Koln, after two losses in the previous matches. This match is important for both teams, who are relegation-threatened. It would be interesting to see who earns 3 points in this match.

Schalke 04 played their 4th 0-0 draw in a row last weekend against Union Berlin. They have managed to stop oppositions from scoring, which has been a major challenge for the Schalke 04 side all season. In their last 5 matches in all competitions, Schalke 04 had 4 draws and 1 loss. Schalke 04 now have no wins in their last 13 matches. They have also not conceded in their last 4 matches and have not scored in those matches. In 4/5 matches, Schalke 04 have seen less than 4.5 goals scored.

Schalke 04 are currently the bottom team. They are 18th, with 13 points from 21 matches in the Bundesliga. They had 2 wins, 7 draws and 12 losses, with a goal ratio of 14:41. Schalke 04 have 9 points at home. They had 2 wins, 3 draws and 6 loses in 11 home matches, with a goal ratio of 10:25.

VFB Stuttgart fought hard to beat FC Koln 3-0 after recording two losses in a row in their previous games. They will hope to continue in this new form, but the opposition team have not lost in their last 4 matches. In the last 5 matches, VFB Stuttgart had 2 wins and 3 losses in all competitions. According to stats, VFB Stuttgart have seen more than 2.5 goals scored in 5/6 matches. They have also seen both teams scoring in 5/7 matches. In 4/5 matches, they have seen more than 4.5 cards shown and in 8/10, they have seen less than 10.5 corners played.

Stuttgart are currently 14th on the table, with 19 points collected from 21 matches. They had 4 wins, 7 draws and 10 losses, with a goal ratio of 26:36. Away from home, they had 4 draws and 6 losses in 10 games, with a goal ratio of 11:23. That is a total of 4 points in all 10 away games.

FC Schalke and VFB Stuttgart have met each other 20 times throughout their history. FC Schalke 04 had 9 wins, while VFB Stuttgart had 6 wins and 5 matches ended in a draw. VFB Stuttgart had not lost in the last 4 meetings against Schalke 04 and both had kept a clean sheet in their last 3 matches. Both teams had also exchanged goals in 4/5 matches.

Schalke 04 caused a huge upset last weekend, after they pegged Union Berlin to a 0-0 draw. The team have kept it tight in the last 4 matches and not allowed a single goal scored against them. It is not the most effective way to help them out of the relegation zone, but it is better than losing. I think this is the new approach the Schalke 04 team have learnt to adopt in the long run. Stuttgart are not the best in attack, despite their surprise 3-0 win last weekend, and I see them struggling from finding the back of the net against a stubborn Schalke 04 side.
