Schalke vs Stuttgart
Schalke will host Stuttgart in the last week of the 2018/2019 Bundesliga season on Saturday (18/05). Although the results of this match have not affected anything but Schalke will still be eyeing victory.
Schalke have been disappointing in the Bundesliga this season. Until the 33rd week, Schalke was only able to compete at the bottom and currently sits just above the relegation zone. Luckily, the distance with Stuttgart, which happened to be their opponent this weekend in the red zone was 5 points adrift so Schalke was certainly safe from the pursuit of relegation.
Schalke had the ambition to close this bad season in a better way by beating Stuttgart at their own headquarters. Moreover, Schalke still has the opportunity to slightly improve their position considering that currently Schalke is only 1 point away from Freiburg, ranked 13th and losing the goal difference from Augsburg to 14th.
For Stuttgart, this match is just like a fight for formality. Although it has been confirmed to finish in the relegation playoff zone, Stuttgart can make this match in preparation for the playoff against third-placed Bundesliga 2 which will be held next weekend. Positive results will still be sought for increasing self-confidence ahead of the live and death match.
