Stuttgart vs Schalke Predictions

• Stuttgart have won only one of their ten home league games this season, drawing on six occasions
• The last two Bundesliga meetings between this pair have ended all-level
• Schalke have pinched a point in four of their last seven league meetings

Sorry Schalke can clinch a point

Time is running out for Schalke if they are going to pull off a miraculous escape in the Bundesliga and they may have to settle for a point on their trip to Stuttgart.

Schalke are rooted to the bottom of the Bundesliga table with only nine points collected from their 22 games, but they have earned draws on six occasions.

One of those stalemates came against Stuttgart at the Veltins Arena in October and another draw could be on the cards as the pair renew their rivalry.

Schalke’s lack of firepower – 15 goals in 22 games – is a real cause for concern but back-to-back away draws at Werder Bremen (1-1) and Union Berlin (0-0) show they at least remain competitive.

Stuttgart are odds-on to triumph but with just one win in ten home league games, punters are advised to tread carefully.

Six of those ten games have ended all-square, with their sole victory coming in a 2-0 victory over second-bottom Mainz.

We predict a closely-fought encounter and are opting for a 1-1 draw – three of Stuttgart’s ten home league games ended that way and the reverse fixture did too.
