Schalke 04 visit Munich to pursue what has become the Holy Grail of world football at the moment: beating Bayern Munich. They have more reasons to do it than mere grabbing of bragging rights. They are engaging in a fierce battle for the Bundesliga second position with Bayer Leverkusen and Dortmund.

Bayern Munich, on the other hand, look unstoppable – having a established a 19-lead at the top of the Bundesliga table.

If any team in Germany can beat Bayern Munich at the moment, it should be Schalke. They are on an unbeaten run of seven matches in which they have won five and drawn two. Only Bayern, who have won all their last 14 matches and have not lost a match yet in the league, have a better recent record. Schalke have more reasons to get something out of this fixture, as a Champions League berth for the next season appears achievable. A win against Bayern would be a shot in the arm.
