Schalke 04 vs Borussia Monchengladbach

, KO: 17:30 Aug 13, 2022, VELTINS-Arena
Borussia Monchengladbach

Borussia Monchengladbach are looking to maintain their fine start to the season as they travel to newly promoted Schalke 04 in the Bundesliga on Saturday. The hosts looked off the pace in their opening fixture and should find things difficult against a confident Monchengladbach side.

It was not the best return to the Bundesliga for Schalke 04 as they were beaten 3-1 at FC Cologne in their opening fixture. They were second best throughout the encounter with Marius Butler’s effort midway through the second half proving to be a mere consolation.

It may still be early days in the Bundesliga but Schalke look Ill-equipped to handle the rigours of topflight football. They gave away too many chances in their opening fixture and could have lost by more but for some poor finishing from Cologne.

It has not been all doom and gloom for Schalke this season though as they have had something to cheer about. Frank Kramer’s men showed plenty of attacking quality in their 5-0 victory over Bremer SV in the DFB Pokal first round.

In contrast to Schalke's patchy form, Borussia Monchengladbach have had an impressive start to the season. They head into Saturday’s clash seeking their third competitive win of the season, a far cry from last term’s start where they won just once in their opening five Bundesliga matches.

Borussia Monchengladbach began their competitive campaign with a 9-1 thrashing of lower league side Oberachern in the first round of the DFB Pokal. They followed that up with a 3-1 victory over Hoffenheim in their opening Bundesliga fixture.

Manager Daniel Farke appears to have put his Norwich City disappointment behind him, producing some brilliant attacking football at Monchengladbach. The visitors have scored 10 times in just two competitive matches with Marcus Thuram accounting for four of the goals.

How the bookies view it

Borussia Monchengladbach have the upper hand among the bookies and are priced at 13/10 by SBK to claim the win. Schalke are considered outsiders at home at 21/10 with SBK while William Hill is offering odds of 27/10 for a draw.

Head to head

Borussia Monchengladbach have the upper hand in recent meetings with four wins and a draw from the last six matches. Monchengladbach also did the double over Schalke in their last Bundesliga campaign with the clash at VELTINS-Arena ending 3-0.

Players to watch

Marius Butler is likely to come in for striker Dominick Drexler, who is currently serving a two-match suspension. The forward was on target in the defeat to Cologne and is priced at 12/5 by bet365 to score anytime on Saturday.
