Schalke 04 welcome Hamburger SV at VELTINS-Arena, Gelsenkirchen on Saturday, Apr 17 at 3:30 PM in a Bundesliga fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.
Schalke 04 come into this fixture in mixed form (1W 2D 1L). Hamburger SV travel struggling badly (1W 3L in last 4), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
In 10 previous meetings, Schalke 04 lead 2–4 with 4 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 2–2 draw. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 4.0 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Schalke 04 a slight edge, but Hamburger SV are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
