PREVIEW
Lying precariously close the the relegation zone, Bielefeld knows that every match from now on is like a final to them. With tough fixtures coming ahead starting from tonight, the home team are in danger of being usurped into the relegation dog-fight should they fail to beat Schalke. Their home form does not augur well for them as 50% of their matches have been drawn, winning only twice while losing 4 in total. They have also not scored in their last 2 home matches.
Schalke have recently slipped down the pecking order in the league, due to their indifferent performances. Currently sitting on 8th position, the visitors will need to win tonight for any hope to close the gap with the top four. Their away form have not been convincing though, winning only three times out of 13 matches. Nevertheless, they have scored an average of 1.55 goals per match when they travel. This might come in handy when they visit Bielefeld.
