FC Schalke 04 vs VfL Wolfsburg match preview, prediction and betting tips. Die Wölfe to snatch a point at the Veltins-Arena.
Match Preview – 14:30 Kick-Off at Veltins-Arena, Gelsenkirchen
With just 1 in 5 Bundesliga games, FC Schalke 04’s underwhelming league campaign continues unabated. Markus Weinzierl’s men have won just twice in 12 in all competitions, a run that has seen them plummet to a lowly 12th position in the table. And while the continued presence in the latter stages of the Europa League is a welcome distraction, FC Schalke 04 are now just 5 points clear of the Bundesliga relegation zone heading in the final weeks of the season.
VfL Wolfsburg seem to have hit form at just the right time. With just 1 defeat in their last 5, Die Wölfe have clawed their way up the table to 13th position, just one spot behind their opponents at the Veltins-Arena on Saturday. Vfl Wolfsburg have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 11 in all competitions which are a worry for Andries Jonker. They have the 6th best away record in the Bundesliga though – a stat that belies their low league position.
An 82nd minute Leon Goretzka strike won the reverse fixture between the two sides in Wolfsburg during the first half of the season and with little separating the sides, a similar result could well be on the cards. Both teams will want to recover quickly from midweek defeats. To see exactly how we think the game will go and to see our FC Schalke 04 V VfL Wolfsburg betting tips, read below.

Schalke 04 vs Wolfsburg Predictions
It will be interesting to see how much FC Schalke 04’s performance will be influenced by their upcoming midweek Europa League clash with Ajax. They could very well have one eye on that game and might go into Saturday’s clash with less than 100% commitment. Vfl Wolfsburg’s away form has been the most positive aspect of their season and I don’t think they will lose at the Veltins-Arena. I’m going for a score draw.
William Hill have odds of 16/5 for the game to end in a draw with both teams scoring. You can also back the draw there at 23/10 if you want something a little safer.
