Schalke 04, Recent FormAn important point secured against Union Berlin will have left Schalke 04 quite happy with their 0-0 draw. During that encounter they had 46% possession and had 8 attempts on goal with 2 on target, while their opponents hit 4 of their 9 shots on goal.
Having conceded 9 goals and scored just 1 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 4 points. There are concerning signs for them, having failed to score in 5 of their last 6 league games. Boss Thomas Reis will not be pleased that his side has found keeping a clean sheet a challenging task at home this season, having conceded goals in 8 of their 11 matches.
There will be mixed feelings from Die Königsblauen, while they've been undefeated in their last 4 league games, they've drawn their last 4.
Stuttgart, Recent FormThe last league instalment for Stuttgart produced a stunning 3-0 home win over Köln. In that game they had 46% possession and managed 17 attempts on goal, with 7 on target, compared to Köln who had 12 attempts and 4 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 8 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 9, and leading to valuable points being dropped. Up front, they have been showing a certain level of consistency in breaching their opponents' defences, with goals netted in 5 of their last 6 outings. They have produced a defensive record this season that they won't be proud of, having conceded at least 1 goal in 19 of their 21 league matches.
It's been a dismal run of form for Stuttgart on their travels, not managing to win any of their last 20 away games.
Serhou Guirassy has scored 3 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Schalke 04.
In the previous encounter between these sides, both teams grabbed goals, with the match finishing in a 1-1 draw.
Die Schwaben have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 3 league meetings with Schalke.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 2 occasions that these 2 sides have met at Veltins-Arena in the league, but Schalke will take some small comfort in being unbeaten in their last 6 meetings there.
Schalke manager Thomas Reis has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Dominick Drexler (Illness), Justin Heekeren (Cruciate ligament), Marcin Kamiński (Lack of fitness), Danny Latza (Lack of fitness), Sebastian Polter (Cruciate ligament), Alexander Schwolow (Knock), Tim Skarke (Leg), Niklas Tauer (Lack of fitness) and Sepp van den Berg (Ligament) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Serhou Guirassy (Tendon) and Tiago Tomás (Abdominal) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Bruno Labbadia will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
