Hoffenheim welcome Schalke 04 at PreZero Arena, Sinsheim on Sunday, Nov 8 at 7:30 PM in a Bundesliga fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.
Hoffenheim come into this fixture struggling badly (1W 3L in last 4). Schalke 04, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (1W 2D 1L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.
History strongly favours Hoffenheim here — they've won 6 of 10 previous meetings against Schalke 04, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in Hoffenheim won 2–0. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 4.2 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Hoffenheim a slight edge, but Schalke 04 are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
