Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 3-1
Schalke
Following an unlucky loss to Porto in the Champions League, Bayer Leverkusen will look to give fans some cheer when they take on Schalke 04 in the Bundesliga round 9. Bayer failed to spoil Bayern Munich’s party at Allianz Arena at the weekend, but the bookies see them as hot favourites to beat die Knappen on home soil. Defender Jeremie Frimpong is banned for the match, while all Exequiel Palacios, Karim Bellarabi, and Florian Wirtz are out of contention with injuries.
The visitors, on the other hand, failed to impress in back-to-back defeats to Borussia Dortmund and Augsburg; therefore, we do not believe that they are capable of grabbing something from Saturday’s clash. Marius Bulter has joined the likes of Rodrigo Zalazar, Sepp van den Berg, Ibrahima Cisse, and Marcin Kaminski in the recovery room.
