After a long period of abstinence, Wolfsburg was able to claim another victory in the Bundesliga last weekend. At home, the former leaders Borussia Mönchengladbach were beaten 2-1 on Sunday afternoon. The Wolves were the better team for over 90 minutes, which is why the victory is okay, even if Maximilian Arnold's late goal might make a different impression. After 15 game days, the Wolfsburg team are in 8th place with a goal difference of 17:15 and 23 points.
The Wolfsburgers played into the cards that SC Freiburg lost to Hertha BSC last weekend and now faces FC Bayern Munich on Wednesday, which is why there is a chance that if Bayer 04 Leverkusen also play, spends the winter break at an international level. That would surely make them happy, as would the fact that they still have the best defense in the league. However, the hunger of the wolves suffers a little from the defensive stable appearance, fewer goals were scored only by the two relegation candidates Fortuna Düsseldorf and 1. FC Köln.
Maybe it will help Schalke if coach Oliver Glasner can now play in 4-3-3 instead of 3-4-3 as before. Jerome Roussilon and Kevin Mbabu, who started in the last two games instead of William, seem to be comfortable in this system anyway, against Mönchengladbach the full-backs always ensured dangerous switching moments.
FC Schalke 04 players are still playing a great season and are in fourth place before the 16th matchday, just one point behind the rival from Dortmund, but one point ahead of the record champions FC Bayern Munich. With a goal difference of 26:18, the opponents do not have to be careful about the Schalke attack, but only VfL Wolfsburg and RB Leipzig have fewer goals than the Royal Blues, which is why David Wagner is particularly proud of his boys on this point .
Benjamin Stambouli will probably only be available again at the weekend, Salif Sané will be out for a longer period, and now Matija Nastasic and Weston McKennie will join the other injured , The captain and goalkeeper of the team, Alexander Nübel, mixed up the sports in the game against Eintracht Frankfurt on Sunday, and the team will be missing for a longer period after a brutal kick against Mijat Gacinovic. However, the length of the lock is not yet known.
So the bank of guests will probably not be too prominently staffed on todays evening. After all, they can be happy that they are currently the second best team in the league in the away table. Will it last after todays evening?
