Schalke vs Bochum Match Preview

Schalke is going to host Bochum at their Veltins-Arena in Gelsenkirchen in this German Bundesliga game.

Schalke got a straight promotion after one season in Bundesliga 2. They played very solid last season in Bundesliga 2 and this season they are back again in the top level of German football. They have not started really well as they haven't a single win in five games. They have only three draws and three points, which are enough for the 15th position.

Bochum is the worst team in the league and I believe they will most probably get relegated this season. In five games they have no points at all. They have scored only three goals and allowed 15 goals. They are lacking quality mainly in attack, and I don't see a way how they can avoid relegation this season.

Schalke is playing at home and that is going to be a big advantage for this famous club. They are without a win this season but this is an ideal opportunity for Schalke to prevail against weak Bochum. I believe they will start fast and hard from the beginning of the game and I expect them to win here.
