FC Cologne welcome Schalke 04 at RheinEnergieSTADION, Köln on Saturday, Oct 24 at 3:30 PM in a Bundesliga fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.
FC Cologne come into this fixture out of form (1W 2L recently). Schalke 04, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (1W 2D 1L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.
History strongly favours FC Cologne here — they've won 6 of 10 previous meetings against Schalke 04, with 4 draws. Their last encounter ended in FC Cologne won 1–0. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.6 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives FC Cologne a slight edge, but Schalke 04 are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
