Schalke 04 vs Stuttgart Prediction: Schalke have a trick in the bag

Schalke 04 welcome Stuttgart to the VELTINS-Arena for a Bundesliga match. Schalke played out another 0-0 draw against Union Berlin, that was their 4th draw in a row, while Stuttgart were back on point with a 3-0 win against Koln, after two losses in the previous matches. This match is important for both teams, who are relegation-threatened. It would be interesting to see who earns 3 points in this match.

Expert Betting Tips

Schalke 04 caused a huge upset last weekend, after they pegged Union Berlin to a 0-0 draw. The team have kept it tight in the last 4 matches and not allowed a single goal scored against them. It is not the most effective way to help them out of the relegation zone, but it is better than losing. I think this is the new approach the Schalke 04 team have learnt to adopt in the long run. Stuttgart are not the best in attack, despite their surprise 3-0 win last weekend, and I see them struggling from finding the back of the net against a stubborn Schalke 04 side.
