Schalke – Bayer Leverkusen SOCCER PICKS

This midweek round has some interesting posters. Schalke 04 and Bayer Leverkusen meet in Gelsenkirchen. There is room for improvement on both sides.

Schalke 04:

For Schalke 04 it is still a season without too many cheering moments. The club from Gelsenkirchen has not been out of the right-hand row of the rankings this football year. The season started with five defeats in a row, and since then things have improved a bit, but it is still a problem. On Saturday, Die Knappen played 1-1 in an away match against FC Augsburg – a result with which he did not advance much. After fifteen duels the blues have exactly fifteen points.

On Monday, the team received bad news in the draw for the eighth finals of the Champions League. Because Schalke was placed in the weakest pool, they had reached the eighth finals. The European adventure is most probably over at the end of two matches. Schalke is linked to Manchester City, one of the title favorites. Back to the competition: Schalke still has to deal with many injured attackers. No less than three center strikers can not be used.

Bayer Leverkusen:

Bayer Leverkusen does not do much better than opponent Schalke for the time being. That Werkself also leaves surprisingly many points. This also happened last weekend, when Leverkusen visited Eintracht Frankfurt at the end of the trip. In Hessen Leverkusen lost, absolutely not unjustly, 2-1. The team of trainer Heiko Herrlich therefore remains nothing more than a mid-engine, even though it is close to each other in the Bundesliga and the jump to the subtop is certainly still possible.

Just like Schalke, Leverkusen plays European football this season. Bayer exhibits his skills in the Europa League. The group stage was survived by the red blacks, and after the winter break FK Krasnodar is the opponent in the sixteenth final. This is an opponent that is a lot less appealing than Man City, but Leverkusen obviously has a much bigger chance to continue a round.
