In their last match, they drew with Hertha Berlin away (0-0), following a previous loss away to Eintracht Braunschweig (2-1). This team is not greatly affected by home advantage; their results are similar both at home and away, having recorded 8 wins, 3 draws, and 4 losses in their last 30 matches as visitors, scoring 20 goals and conceding 12, compared to 10 wins, 1 draw, and 4 losses at home, with 18 goals scored and 13 conceded.

In this competition, they have a streak of 5 wins in their last home matches. In matches played at home, there are results that have been more frequent: at halftime 0-0 (3 out of 8 games) and at the end of 90′ 1-0 (4 out of 8 games) and 2-1 (3 out of 8 games). Defensive solidity has been one of their strengths, conceding goals in only 3 of their last 10 matches, while their attack has scored regularly, netting goals in 8 of their last 10 matches in this competition.

In their last 17 home games across all competitions, notable periods include scoring 9 of their 22 goals between the minutes (76’-90’).

Schalke 04 enters this match looking to solidify their top position and maintain their winning streak. With 38 points from 18 games, the team stands out for its defensive organization, having conceded only 10 goals, and for a consistent attack that creates opportunities in a controlled manner. Playing at home, Schalke tends to dominate possession, exploit width, and maintain constant intensity, seeking to take a lead on the scoreboard as early as possible. The team’s experience in crucial moments could be decisive for controlling the rhythm of the match and pressuring the opponent into making mistakes.

Analysis of Kaiserslautern

After 9 wins, 3 draws, and 6 losses, the visiting team is in 5th place, having accumulated 30 points. In their last match, they won against Hannover 96 at home (3-1), following a preceding home defeat to Magdeburg (2-3).

Back home, they achieved 10 wins, 1 draw, and 4 losses, with a total of 32 goals scored and 18 conceded. Their last away match in this competition ended in a draw (0-0) against DSC Arminia Bielefeld.

In matches played away in the league, the most frequent halftime result was 0-0, which occurred in 4 of their 10 games. The team has conceded goals to opponents in 9 of their last 10 matches; thus, they have not shown great defensive solidity, but their attack has scored regularly, managing to find the net in 7 of their last 10 matches in this competition. In their away matches for this competition, there is a tendency for few goals, as there have been fewer than 3 goals in 5 of the last 8 they played. In their 18 games in this competition, they conceded the first goal 8 times and managed to turn the score around only 2 times.

Kaiserslautern, with 30 points and occupying 5th place, enters the match looking to regain consistency away from home. The visiting team displays good offensive power but has already conceded 22 goals, showing a defensive vulnerability that can be exploited by Schalke. The team should focus on quick transitions and set pieces to create goal-scoring opportunities while striving to balance the pressure from the opponent. Their ability to remain organized defensively and seize any counter-attack opportunities will be crucial in attempting to score away from home.
