In fact, Schalke's unbeaten streak is already 8 games. With two victories against direct competitors, this is an almost ideal indicator for a team whose only task is to maintain a place in the Bundesliga. Things are going even cooler for Bayer, but the victory over Schalke looks far from obvious and this can be seen even from the bookmakers quotes:

3.80 - 3.75 - 1.91

+91% looks attractive, but on the one hand, a series of 8 games without defeat, and on the other hand, 7 games with 6 wins and one draw. The second series looks even more impressive than the first, so I guess it should be interrupted.

I think the reason why there is a negative effect on Bayern Munich's dressing room is the wrong decision of the management Nagelsmann was not a good option for this team during this season and they had another mistake when they fired Nagelsmann and hired Thomas Tuchel because the team is not socked after changing the coach and we still cannot be sure how Tuchel is going to perform in Bayern Munich.

 I don't really think that this particular game was the main reason why they sacked Julian Nagelsmann, Bayern Munich are really having a negative energy in the dressing room that we don't know about. If you check they [Bayern Munich] have been losing and drawing games that on a norm they would just pass through it like it's nothing, so they have to make a move as quick as possible to get Thomas Tuchel who they [Bayern] feel can make them be in constant winning ways, but this fixture against Dortmund is really going to be a cracker like I said earlier.

Football was hot after Bayern Munich hired Thomas Tuchel. His first game was against Dortmund, his former team. Talk about pressure. That must move you. But Tuchel performed well and got everyone up.

Joining a successful club with great expectations is terrifying. Tuchel nevertheless led Bayern Munich to victory. He won over fans and peers with such a strong start.

On the other hand, with the current condition of Freiburg which is better in terms of position and actual performance this is also a real advantage for Freiburg because of course they are now in a better position especially now they also only need to focus on the bundesliga so this will profitable for them.
The condition of the players has no problems, it seems that after the international break and playing at home will be more strength to support their advantage in this match.

Indeed Schalke in the relegation zone right now have been success without loss last eight games in Bundesliga, seems unique for the relegation team success unbeaten with 8 games in a row. Last defeated from RB Leipzig on January 25 and until right now still not any team can't defeated Schalke.

But draw result have been dominance last 8 games and difficult for Schalke wake up from relegation zone with 21 points, left 1 points from VfB Stuttgart on bottom standing position. Schalke have 8 matches left in Bundesliga and seems many difficult games against with Bayern Munich, Leverkusen, Leipzig and Eintracht Frankfurt. Not sure this season Schalke keep stay on Bundesliga competition because 8 matches left have against with bigger teams.

The last game they lost was about 8-9 games ago, and they are doing very well right now. I am not expecting them to keep this unbeaten streak going for a long time, but if they keep the games going like this, even 1-2 losses wouldn't matter, they may stay away from regulation eventually. They were so so so terrible at the start that they are still not out of relegation zone right now, and when the time comes, they are going to be out of it, in a few weeks if they keep this up, but that will take some pressure.

It is not easy to be a bad team that is getting better, it is easy to be bad or good or even a good team playing bad could become better again, but being bad and getting better after being bad so long is hard.

Let me tell you something about Schalke. If they keep on performing like this, they are actually going to get out of the relegation zone. Yes, it is not going to be easy, it will also take time. But slowly and surely they will be safe. I really appreciate the realistic approach that they have taken toward everything. The main priority for the club is to avoid relegation.

I have a hot take on the relegation system actually. I think a team which is consistently in the relegation playoffs three times in a row, should actually be relegated without the option of having playoffs. I am not saying this targeting any specific club. What do you guys think about it?

Herta Berlin is a team in the relegation zone. Then it cannot be said for sure that Union Berlin will win this match. Because I can't trust Union Berlin's performance. Berlin was in a strong position at the beginning of the season, but now their performances are erratic. Berlin's match with Hertha is likely to be a draw. Union Berlin has managed to win just one of their last 5 matches. They have drawn all three matches and lost one. I would say that Union Berlin has the potential to go outside the top four of the points table. Unless their attacking performance improves, this team will slip further in the points table.

Now we know why there was a change of coach at Bayern, they want to do everything before the game that they not lose. They have to win the game on Saturday, everything else would be a disaster for Munich. The last match between the two was in October 2022 and it ended 2-2. There are only 9 matchdays and 27 possible points left in this season. This Saturday at 18:30 German-time, everyone is watching Bundesliga. I think with Thomas Tuchel and the motivation Bayern will win.

Well, I also see, that this fight should be a momentum for Dortmond. yes, because after all what Bayern did to Nagelsmann was a gamble. that's why, I'm interested in Dormund. I mean, what is Terzic going to do in this fight.

Because if we talk from the depth of the players, Bayern are above Dortmund. plus, playing at the Allianz Arena is a distinct advantage for the home team. no one doubts Bayern, even though Tuchel is the new coach. because, after all, Tuchel is a coach who has a very good track record. he just needs to adapt to what Nagelsmann has left behind, otherwise it will be difficult for him to adapt quickly let alone want according to the pattern and system he applies. however, that's the problem. we don't know yet what these two trainers will do.  Before speculating too much, I would like to see the two teams put up their starting line-up first. plus, the formation that each team will use.

My speculation while, Dortmund will not play openly. that is, Edin Terzic prefers to play a little deeper with a defensive pattern. for them, one point is enough to maintain the leader of the standings. the rest, they can appear all out in the next matches. So, this is going to be very interesting. if Dortmund are able to hold Bayern to a draw, it means that their chances of winning a trophy this season are wide open.

Hertha Berlin is a team in the danger zone of the table and normally we don't expect them to take any points against Union Berlin, especially if you consider Union Berlin is a team at top of the table and they still want to stay between the top four teams and even decrease the space between themself and first place of the table, also the last time they faced the had a draw and which make the bet a bit risky.

7 matches without defeat is certainly an extraordinary thing for schalke but unfortunately they have not been able to get out of the relegation zone at this time, the league leaves only 9 matches left and it is very important for schalke not to drop points to keep their chances of staying in the bundesliga next season, even though it's difficult, it seems that now Schalke has high confidence to face Leverkusen at the weekend, I think from a squad point of view, Leverkusen is indeed much better, but we also can't deny that the motivation of the schalke players is now very high, especially when they managed to hold Dortmund in the previous match , in my opinion schalke will be able to surprise in the match later and even I hope that if they will be able to win the match later to continue to be able to maintain their chances of surviving next season.

Of course for me to think the same as you, Leverkusen and Schalke have quite a difference in the mism this time, and in fact it is also true that Of course for me to think the same as you, Leverkusen and Schalke have quite a difference in the mism this time, and in fact it is also true that Schalke can only win with a team that is in the relegation zone too. Xabi Alonso has served at Leverkusen for quite some time and has only been in the Leverkusen ranks for only a few months. This is an achievement for him because he brought Leverkusen into the top 10 of the standings, although he is still relatively new to training Leverkusen fighters.
While Thomas Reis, who has been coach of Schalke, hasn't been too long since he joined, but he couldn't give a stronger push to his squad in the team for maybe some other reasons, so Schalke's performance is still at the bottom of the standings. If you look at the statistics of the game and the performance of the players, I also feel that it will be an easy match for Leverkusen.

  If Freiburg cannot over through Union Berlin from that position, I don't know if there will be any other chance, because their performance in the last clash with Hertha was really good though they couldn't get the 3 points.  This time around, It will definitely not end the same way.i will say that Hertha was quite lucky in that game despite the pressure from freburg attackers they managed to get away with a draw.
Now freiburg will be having home advantage and all the players ( aside Khere and Lienhart) are in good physical condition, for that they will be a better performance than the last match.

It was not easy for Tuchel to make his first debut with Bayern Munich. And the first match was also full of prestige because it was against Dortmund, which in fact was Tuchel's former club. this match was really very emotional for the former Dortmund coach. Apart from that, the burden that Tuchel felt was also very heavy because the club's condition at the time of the transition to coaching was in good condition. That will certainly be a challenge for Tuchel and I'm sure he will be able to get through that match with a win.

 Thomas Tuchel first assignment or challenge is going to against the league leaders and is going to be a very tough battle, having Dortmund leading the league with just a point and Bayern Munich who had the chance to stay at the top of the log went on to lose their last game before going for the international break. I know Dortmund won't go soft on this game but neither will Bayern because it will be like a finals for both teams. And the way it is, Bayern would like to impress the newly signed coach Thomas Tuchel. I feel this fixture won't go either ways, is going to be a possible draw to me.

Of course Schalke hopes to win to get three points. They certainly want to get out of the relegation zone, I believe they will work hard to get at least one point. I'm quite realistic, their rankings are a lot different so Leverkusen so Leverkusen will certainly be favourites to win. But we have to remember Schalke will play at home, it will make them more confident to win. Five games without defeat is quite good, they certainly want to continue this good trend.   

Schalke has improved in recent games and they have not lost a game in the last 7 games. However, they have only won the games against their direct opponents in the fight against relegation (Stuttgart and Bochum). In this game against Leverkusen, Schalke will mainly concentrate on defending.
Leverkusen has played very well in the Bundesliga but also international. The victory against Bayern Munich gives them a lot of confidence.
I think Leverkusen will win this game.

The last meeting between the two ended in a draw, but with Freiburg being the favored host, they will certainly maximize their victory at home. Hertha is currently struggling in the relegation zone and their chances of escaping from that position this week will likely disappear, while Freiburg they have a target to shift Union Berlin's position in the standings. I will bet for Freiburg to win with odds @1.71 I think those odds are good enough for the favorite team to win.
