THE PREDICTION
Schalke 04 took another huge step in their slow but steady recovery last weekend, securing their third Bundesliga win of the season by beating Stuttgart 2-1. With the teams immediately above them continuing to lose, all of a sudden Schalke find themselves just three points from safety. Victory here would see them move off the bottom of the table and leapfrog Bochum, who have lost their last three. The pressure is on both and as you would expect with so much at stake in this game, it could prove a cagey, nervous affair. Therefore, clear-cut chances may be at premium and backing under 2.5 goals looks a smart play.
