Schalke vs Stuttgart Prediction and Betting Tips

Schalke host Stuttgart at the VELTINS-Arena on Saturday (February 25) in the Bundesliga.

The hosts have had a largely poor campaign but have now begun picking up points to avoid an impending relegation tussle. Schalke played out a goalless draw against title contenders Union Berlin in their last game and are now unbeaten in five of their last six games against the Iron Ones. Schalke, though. remain rock-bottom in the Bundesliga with just 13 points picked up.

Stuttgart, meanwhile, have also had their struggles this season but remain hopeful of avoiding the drop. They returned to winning ways last weekend with a clinical 3-0 home win over Koln. Three different players, including winter signing Gil Dias, who netted his first Bundesliga goal for the Reds, were on the scoresheet.

The visitors are 14th in the league table with 19 points from 21 games.
