Current form: Bayern Munich vs Schalke
Can Bayern get back on track after a surprise loss? Die Roten, who now find themselves in third place and seven points behind league leaders Borussia Dortmund, will hope that their strong home record can help boost them as they welcome Schalke. In addition, with zero losses in their last 18 meetings against die Königsblauen, Niko Kovac's men will be determined to build up another winning streak after seeing their seven-game run snapped last weekend at the hands of Bayer Leverkusen.
The Bavarian titans did recover from their 3-1 league defeat to beat Hertha Berlin 3-2 in the DFB-Pokal, but it was hardly a comfortable victory as they needed to go to extra time to see off their opponents. Thus, fatigue could be a problem ahead of this game and Kovac will have to decide how to properly manage his squad especially with the team's tough Champions League round of 16 tie versus Liverpool looming on the horizon.
Domenico Tedesco's side, meanwhile have struggled in the Bundesliga recently, and have failed to win their last two league games after stringing together a two-game winning streak. That being said, they had no problems cruising to a very comfortable 4-1 victory over Fortuna Dusseldorf in the DFB-Pokal but injuries have started to take its toll on the team.
After being fortunate to be placed in one of the easiest Champions League quartets, Schalke's good luck seems to have run out as they now will face a rather unpleasant draw in the round of 16 - Pep Guardiola's Manchester City - in less than two weeks' time. Of course, as we saw last term with Roma knocking out Barcelona, the less-favored side can certainly pull off an upset, but in the meantime, Schalke will be hoping to pick up their first league win against Bayern Munich since December 4, 2010.
With ten goals, Robert Lewandowski is the third all-time top goalscorer in Bayern vs Schalke fixtures. The Polish star is the highest active marksman in this tie, and ranks only behind Karl-Heinz Rummenigge (12) and Gerd Müller (21). Will he take one step closer towards overtaking Rummenigge with a goal or two on Saturday?
