Prediction: 2-0
Schalke
After failing to spoil Bayern Munich’s party at Allianz Arena, Wolfsburg will look to give fans some cheer when they host Schalke to their Volkswagen Arena on Saturday. The Wolves’ displays seem to be much better than the results, and, as a result, the odds for home win have been dropping. Max Kruse is pushing for a start, while all Bartol Franjic, Omar Marmoush, Jonas Wind, Killian Fisher, and Yannick Gerhardt are out of contention with injuries.
Die Knappen, on the other hand, came from behind to share the spoils with Borussia M’gladbach, but home win should be considered this time out as the newcomers are not regarded as good travellers. Dominik Drexler has yet to serve his ban, but the midfielder should be the only absentee in the away team ahead of the trip to Wolfsburg.

Born in Chene-Bougeries, Switzerland on April 19, 1995, Kevin Mbabu is a defender who plays for Young Boys. Mbabu started his youth career at Servette and he continued playing for les Grenats at senior level.
