H2H: Schalke 04 vs Wolfsburg – Score Prediction (Bundesliga

H2H: Schalke vs Wolfsburg – Comparison.

Only one of Mark Uth’s (S04) last eight goalscoring Bundesliga games saw his side win. Meanwhile, defender Kevin Mbabu (WOL) scored in both H2Hs last season. Only one of the 23 league H2Hs at Schalke has seen the team to score first eventually lose.

Schalke Insights.

Schalke 04 are now on the second-longest run without victory (D9, L14) in Bundesliga history after Tasmania Berlin went 31 games without success in 1965/66. Two straight league draws hints at improvement, but Schalke need to shore up their defence (league-high 22 goals conceded) if they want to ensure a 31st straight top-flight season next year. Six goals conceded from the 31st minute till HT has been particularly damaging, contributing to three multi-goal HT deficits ‘to nil’. Each of Schalke’s last five home points have come courtesy of 1-1 draws, which incidentally is also the joint-most common score (x10) in 90 minutes (any venue) in competitive H2H history. Schalke’s last two home games saw that same 1-1 score, helping to continue an amazing run of 43 consecutive Bundesliga games in Gelsenkirchen to see no side lose after scoring first.

Wolfsburg Insights.

One of just two unbeaten Bundesliga sides this season, five of Wolfsburg’s games have nonetheless ended all square as they look on course to challenge the 15 draws they attained in season 2017/18 – a record for them in the top-flight. Consequently, no Wolfsburg league game this season has seen any team net over 2.5 goals. Unsurprisingly then, and continuing the theme, all three of Wolfsburg’s away league games this campaign have ended 1-1, with all three also seeing Wolfsburg concede first but come back within the same half to pull level. With one of those games seeing Wolfsburg start as favourite, they now have a rather favourable W/D (W4, D3, L1) record since the start of 2019/20 when fancied on their travels – as they are here.
