THE PREDICTION
Two teams full of confidence and momentum clash at VELTINS-Arena as Schalke 04 host Bayer Leverkusen. For Schalke to have pulled themselves to within one point of safety is a remarkable achievement and Thomas Reis’ men will have full belief that they can claim victory here. However, Leverkusen are on the back of beating reigning champions Bayern Munich in what turned out to be Julian Nagelsmann’s last game in charge of the Bavarian giants, so the ability and threat of the visitors is clear to see. With both teams hunting for a precious three points for different reasons, an entertaining encounter is likely to be on the cards with chances coming from either end. Therefore, consider backing over 2.5 goals scored.
