They drew 1-1 with Union in Berlin. Schalke did not perform well for one more time and they were probably lucky to earn this point.

Theoretically, they can "chase" the 7th place to play in the Europa League next season, in essence, they must be transformed and played much better to achieve this goal.

They are in an awful strike, as they have not any victory in the last 12 games. They are sitting now on the 10th place of the table.

There are many injury problems. The German midfielder Serdar (20/7), the Spanish midfielder Omar Mascarell (23/0) and the striker Burgstaller (21/0) are all out.

On Tuesday, they won 3-0 away Saarbrucken and advanced to the Cup final. They will face Bayern Munich to beat them and won the title.

However, they can't be complacent, as they are chasing a place for the Champions League of the next season.

Sven Bender is a long term injury for Leverkusen. On the contrary, the Dutch defender, Sinkgraven is fit again. He will probably start in the first eleven.

Leverkusen has not even a draw in the last nine games in all competitions.

The two teams have faced each other 72 times. Schalke has 19 wins, while Bayer Leverkusen has won 32 times, and 21 matches ended in a draw.

In the 1st round of Bundesliga, Bayer Leverkusen - Schalke: 2-1. The match took place on 07/12/2019.
