Review Schalke vs Leverkusen: Save yourself
Although not getting rid of the group holding the red light, Schalke is sending out very positive signals in the fight to save himself. Since the 1-6 defeat to RB Leipzig on January 25, Schalke has not once tasted the bitter cup. They have a total of 2 wins and 6 draws in the aforementioned period.
With the above impressive achievement, Schalke has narrowed the gap with the nearest relegation position to 1 point (21 versus 22). This is a gap that can be covered in just 1 round. Welcoming Leverkusen, Schalke will definitely play with more than 100% energy and determination to collect at least 1 point.
Leverkusen is in high form, as shown by winning the last 5 matches on all fronts. However, the pharmaceutical team only won 5/12 away matches since the beginning of the tournament. In the remaining 7 matches, they drew 2, lost 5.
It is the poor performance at home that makes Leverkusen still standing outside the group that won tickets to the European Cup. In the context of the high morale of Schalke players, Schalke is not easy to get 3 points at Veltins-Arena.
