Wolfsburg vs Schalke 04 Team News
Having flirted with relegation in the last seasons, gaffer Oliver Gasner has done a fantastic work in stabilizing Wolfsburg.Die Wolfe recorded a morale-boosting 2-1 victory over title chasers, Monchengladbach in their last league outing. They also recorded a 1-0 victory over Saint Etienne in the Europa League during the week in an inconsequential game, having already sealed qualification to the next round. Surely, The Wolves are having the time of their lives.
Wolfsburg have struggled for form in recent weeks, losing 4 of their last 6 matches in the League. They have assumed a sort of Robin Hood status, losing to teams they should have beaten and managing to defeat title contenders.
Their home form has also been uninspiring with just 3 wins out of the 8 matches played at the Volkswagen Arena this time. They will be hoping to improve on that stat with victory over Schalke, giving their Champions League qualification chances a huge boost.
Schalke 04 are seeking to play among Europe’s elites once again after a four-year hiatus. They have gone about this with some swagger, winning 8 of their 15 league matches so far, losing just three.
Last time out, they recorded a 1-0 victory over struggling Eintracht Frankfurt despite goalkeeper, Alexander Nubel getting sent off for a rash tackle in the 66th minute. Centre-forward Benito Raman got the only goal of the game to continue his four-game scoring streak.
It is also worth noting that Schalke 04 have the second best record away from home, behind league leaders, RB Leipzig with 4 wins, 1 draw and just 2 defeats away from home so far.
Injured or Suspended Players:
Wolfsburg: Ignacio Camacho.Schalke: Weston McKennie, Benjamin Stambouli, Salif Sané, Alessandro Schöpf, Mark Uth, Alexander Nübel, Nabil Bentaleb.

Wolfsburg vs Schalke Predictions
Although, Wolfsburg have the home advantage, this is by no means going to be a stroll in the park, considering Schalke’s superb record away from home. Schalke also have a knack of scoring multiple goals away from home, so this promises to be a high-scoring encounter.Considering that Schalke are suffering a defensive crisis at the moment and Wolfsburg tend to perform in the big games, I’m tipping Wolfsburg to edge this slightly. 2-1 in favor of the hosts.
