THE PREDICTION
Schalke used the distraction of the DFB Pokal to their advantage last weekend, advancing to the second round of Germany’s premier cup competition after beating Schweinfurt 0-3. However, their struggles in the Bundesliga cannot be hidden, having gone 22 league matches without a win, extending to last season. They may not get a better chance on paper to end this winless run here against bottom of the table Mainz, who have failed to pick up a single Bundesliga point so far this season. Both these sides have leaked goals all season, with a total of 38 goals having been scored against them so far in the league. This may well lead to an entertaining contest between two sides seemingly allergic to winning Bundesliga matches at present. Whilst it’s hard to pick an outright winner, consider over 2.5 goals to be scored in this one.
