1899 Hoffenheim, Recent Form1899 Hoffenheim will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 2-1 win in their away outing against Werder Bremen. In that game they had 43% possession and managed 8 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Werder Bremen who had 12 attempts and 4 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 6 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 7 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They have clocked up an impressive run of form in front of goal at The PreZero Arena recently, having found the net in 5 of their last 6 home matches. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 16 games.
Despite picking up some valuable points from 2 wins, the 4 lost matches from 6 will be the main concern for them.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for 1899 Hoffenheim, Andrej Kramarić will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Schalke 04, Recent FormIn the aftermath of a 3-0 home mauling at the hands of Bayer Leverkusen, the Schalke 04 team will need to refocus and rebuild confidence among the team. In that game they recorded 48 % of the possession, with 12 attempts on goal, 3 on target. Their opponents found the target on 10 of their 18 shots on goal.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 7 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 7, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They are proving to be well organised on their travels, having kept 3 clean sheets in their last 6 games. After failing to get on the scoresheet in 6 away games out of 12 this season, Thomas Reis will be looking for a bit more consistency from his forwards.
Schalke will take some comfort from having only lost 1 of their last 6 games, but having managed just 2 wins shows there's room for improvement.
Marius Bülter will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 4 goals in the last 6 league outings for Schalke 04.
After a good 0-3 win for 1899 Hoffenheim in this pair's last league encounter, Schalke 04 will certainly be looking for a better result this time round.
