FC Schalke 04 will receive FC Köln on Wednesday evening, 20.01.2021 at 18:30 in the local Veltins Arena on the 17th match day of the Bundesliga. The royal blues were unable to regain their first victory of the season and lost at Eintracht Frankfurt on the weekend. The precinct club is again last in the league with only seven points.

The squires were immediately under pressure in Frankfurt. Eintracht had early chances to lead through Barkok (3rd, 7th) and took control of the game. With increasing playing time, however, the S04 adjusted better and better to the SGE and then also survived Hinteregger’s post goal (24th). Shortly afterwards Silva scored 1:0 for the Hesse (28th). In return, however, inconspicuous Schalker equalised directly for 1:1 (29th, Hoppe). The score was balanced again, but Christian Gross’ team was clearly at a disadvantage. Before the break, the home team had two great opportunities for a guided tour through Silva (37th) and Durm (42nd). After the change of sides, Eintracht was still the better team, but could no longer create real chances – until the replacement of Luka Jovic from Real Madrid. The Serb struck immediately and set 2:1 (72.). The direct response of the royal blues was omitted this time. The Ruhrpottclub remained pale and had no more opportunities to equalize. Frankfurt continued to put pressure on it and then rewarded himself with the goal for Jovic’s 3-1 final in the second leg (91st).
After the 4-0 home victory against TSG Hoffenheim, the Gross-Elf was unable to follow suit last weekend and lost deservedly in Frankfurt. The victory against the Kraichgau was only the first this season. The last four home games before the match against Hoffenheim were all lost. Only Cologne and Mainz scored even less at home. The shorts are the league’s penalty box (42 goals conceded) and represent the second weakest offensive (13 hits).
Steven Skrzybski, Nassim Boujellab, Goncalo Paciencia, Kilian Ludewig and Salif Sane are injured against FC on Wednesday. Sitting on the bench could be an old acquaintance. Klaas-Jan Huntelaar of Ajax Amsterdam, who is on Schalke for the medical check on Tuesday, is supposed to shoot the S04 to avoid class.

Markus Gisdol’s team was defensive against the Hertha. The capital club had more of the game in the first 45 minutes and also worked out the first good way to lead through Piatek (13th). However, this was just the only chance for the Old Lady in the first round. On the other hand, the cathedrals had their first dangerous conclusion in the aftermath by Hector (45th +2). After the break tea, the game continued sluggishly. Playful elements were completely missing. After exactly one hour, Wolf gave the Rhinelanders the next chance to win the 1-0, but the forward missed the long corner (60th). The guests got better and after good shooting possibilities banished the victory – Piatek (74th) and Guendouzi, who once failed at FC-Keeper Horn (75th) and a little later hit the outpost (83rd). So it stayed at a zero number.
The Gisdol elf has been defenceless for five league games and lost three times in that period. In the last away game at SC Freiburg there was a decent score of 0-5. Before that, the FC was not so bad in the guest matches and scored nine points from five away matches. The goats have scored only five goals in the foreign country. Even less often, only Arminia met Bielefeld away. FC also scored only 13 goals in the season, making it the second worst attack team in the Oberhaus together with Schalke.
Sebastian Andersson and Florian Kainz remain injured.

We see FC Schalke 04 slightly ahead against FC Köln due to the home advantage. The last home appearance against TSG Hoffenheim was clear and at the same time the first victory of the season. Last week, however, the guest appearance in Frankfurt was again one number too high. The Hesse are currently one number too big and difficult to play, especially in their home games. The goats are not only fighting against the relegation, but also for the job of coach Gisdol, who will probably have to pack his things in the event of a bankruptcy in the Veltins Arena. However, the last three Bundesliga matches of the FC were bad, especially the 0-5 victory in Freiburg. Both teams are offensively weak, yet we believe in plenty of goals in this basement duel. We predict that the Domstädter will not win a flowerpot in the current form and will also lose at the last place in the table. So our choice for this Bundesliga tip prognosis also falls on the 3-way betting Schalke 04 wins. Online betting providers have betting odds of around 2.50 to 2.60 on average.
