A huge match is set for this weekend in the Bundesliga, as Schalke look to bounce back to winning ways in their battle to stay in the top-flight. Eintracht Frankfurt are the visitors, and they should be in good confidence after registering a much-needed win last weekend.
Bundesliga Preview
Both Schalke and Frankfurt still have a lot to play for over the final two rounds of fixtures, but their destiny is out of their hands. Schalke comes into this round of matches sitting in the relegation playoff spot in the Bundesliga, but a victory could see them end the weekend as high as 14th. They come into this fixture after winning two of their previous three, while they have landed three victories over their last five.
However, they will need an instant return to form this weekend after they were hammered 6-0 by Bayern Munich in their previous match. Schalke failed to register a single shot on target at the Allianz Arena, but this is a slightly easier challenge for them this weekend.
Eintracht Frankfurt still has something to play for at this late stage of the season, as they are still looking to force their way into a European place. At present, they sit three points off the top six, meaning that they will need to win both of their remaining matches in the league and hope that another team does them a favour.
They at least got back on track last weekend, as they recorded a first win in six. Frankfurt was excellent against their local rivals in that clash, as they recorded a 3-0 win. Daichi Kamada, Aurelio Buta, and Randal Kolo Muani all scored goals in the success.
Schalke vs Eintracht Frankfurt Head to Head
Frankfurt has won three of their previous four matches against Schalke. However, they are without an away win in this fixture since April 2019. Each of the previous two home matches for Schalke have ended in wins for the host. Meanwhile, there hasn’t been a draw in this fixture in eight meetings.
Schalke vs Eintracht Frankfurt Prediction
Frankfurt bounced back to winning ways with an excellent performance last weekend, and we could see them maintaining their push for a European place this weekend with a 2-0 win on the road against Schalke.
