Schalke
- Miron Muslić's Royal Blues have won three and lost two of their last five games and are 6-0-4 across their last 10 in all competitions, which is a decent return but not yet the form that suggests a serious title challenge.
- However, Schalke have lost their most recent home game against Bayern and will have to deliver a big upset if they are to reverse that result at VELTINS-Arena.
Bayern
- Vincent Kompany's Bayern are in a 5-game winning run and have won nine of their last ten in all competitions (D0, L1).
- Kompany has his Bayern team controlling games with possession, using central overloads to create and being flexible with their pressing triggers.
- Schalke will aim to press high up the field, looking to disrupt the visitors' build-up, which will lead to a disruptor vs controller dynamic.
Key Players
- In Ismael Saibari, they have a star player who can make things happen in the final third (2 assists in 1 Bundesliga 2026/2027 match).
- Aleksandar Pavlovic's one goal in one Bundesliga 2026/2027 match is more than enough to see Bayern hold an advantage in terms of quality in midfield, where they can be deadly.
