Match description

Schalke sit top of the table with a record of 20 wins, 7 draws and 5 losses and 49 goals scored, while Nürnberg have 11 wins, 9 draws, 12 losses and 41 goals. In their last 5 matches Schalke have won all 5, scoring 11 goals (2.2 goals per game and 3.0 points per game), whereas Nürnberg over the same period have 1 win, 3 draws and 1 loss with only 4 goals (0.8 per game and 1.2 points per game). Defensively the visitors are stronger — Schalke concede 0.88 goals on average away with 38% clean sheets, while Nürnberg concede 1.06 at home with 25% clean sheets; in the last 5 games Schalke have conceded 4 goals versus Nürnberg’s 5. Nürnberg generate slightly more high-quality opportunities at home (average xG 1.58 vs 1.44 xG for Schalke away, 14.25 shots vs 12.5 and 4.94 shots on target vs 4.5), but both teams have a conversion rate of 11%, so the chances edge may not be decisive. Considering Schalke’s 5-game winning run, better defensive numbers away and superior points margin over the season, an away victory is more likely.
