Schalke 04 play Bayern Munich tomorrow in a game that could well decide the destination of this years Bundesliga. A victory for the Royal Blues would put them five point clear with five games to go. At puntinplay we rate them a strong bet to see off their closest challengers.
Felix Magath has managed Bayern to two Bundesliga Championships and won the title last year with Wolfsberg. It would be an unprecedented treble if he could also pull it off with Schalke. The boys in blue go into the game in tremendous form having won eight home games on the spin and haven't lost at the Arena Aufschalke since the last Pope died. One of the reasons is the pitch and the Munich management team have even written to the German Football League declaring “the pitch is unfit and unworthy of such an important Bundesliga fixture.” The protest then went on to say that the condition favoured the home side. Based on results they look to have a point. Based on experience the letter is still in some officials pending tray.
Both sides have a full squad to chose from with Robben likely to return. Schalke have won the mind games build up to the match today and tomorrow we think they will win the game, take the 2.75 on offer with Skybet.
