After having successfully completed its first part of the season, Schalke 04 has been wasting its efforts for several weeks and could even be deprived of the European Cup. If they are still 6th, the players of Gelsenkirchen have not won for 7 days and even remain on two big defeats against Leipzig (0-5) and Cologne (3-0) last weekend. This week, they still displayed more solidity against Bayern Munich in the German Cup despite the defeat (0-1).
Hoffenheim, meanwhile, occupies 8th place in the standings and is only 2 points behind his opponent of the day. But just like the latter, the club is going through a difficult period marked by several setbacks. Indeed, Arnold Schreuder’s men have lost 3 of their last 4 league games. After losing to Freiburg (0-1) and Wolfsburg (2-3), they were held in check by Borussia Mönchengladbach (1-1). Finally, last weekend, they sank completely on their lawn against Bayern Munich (0-6).
