THE PREDICTION

After falling to a shock defeat at the hands of Heidenheim last time out, ending their fantastic winning run in the 2. Bundesliga, a response is expected here from Schalke 04 at home to Darmstadt 98. The hosts won’t have an easy though against a side flying high on confidence having picked up ten points from their last four league games. However, this Schalke team have shown themselves to be an outstanding unit at this level particularly at home, also racking up ten goals across those ten matches. When taking into account the strength-in-depth of Schalke alongside the fearsome duo of Terrode and Bulter leading the line, Darmstadt’s resilience isn’t expected to last in this one, with Schalke favoured to emerge victorious in front of their home fans.
