Schalke vs Bayern Munich Predictions

• Bayern Munich are unbeaten in 20 Bundesliga away games, winning 20
• Schalke have won 11 and lost none of their last 14 home matches
• Four of Bayern’s last five games have seen them win by at least three goals

Rampant Bavarians unlikely to be stopped in their tracks

Champions Bayern Munich picked up where they left off when routing Stuttgart 5-1 in the Bundesliga’s curtain-raiser, with the biggest worry for the rest of the league surely being that they did that without Harry Kane scoring. 

Even more terrifying is that the England captain has since found his feet, netting a brace in a similarly dominant 4-1 victory over Osnabruck in the German Cup. 

Vincent Kompany’s Bavarians are simply irresistible when at their best and that is bad news for Schalke, who could really do with a win after marking their Bundesliga return with a 3-0 defeat at Augsburg. 

Schalke set to struggle again

Ordinarily, a return to a home fortress where they are unbeaten in 14 games would provide a boost. However, a clash with Bayern is like no other on any German team’s calendar. 

The Bavarians have scored 226 goals in 69 Bundesliga games under Kompany’s stewardship and with Kane, Michael Olise and Luis Diaz in frightening form, Schalke look set for another heavy defeat. 

Bayern have won four of their last five games by at least three goals – the exception being in the Super Cup against Schalke’s rivals Borussia Dortmund – and the champions can secure another commanding victory.
