Improving Schalke could frustrate Frankfurt

BT Sport 3 from 2.30pm, Sunday

Frankfurt v Schalke

5pm

After a miserable start, Schalke are beginning to piece together some positive results and could pinch a point at highflying Frankfurt.

Schalke held out for a draw at fourth-placed Leipzig on their most recent away league outing and six clean sheets in their last nine matches suggests they can frustrate Frankfurt, who have had two days less time to prepare due to their Europa League duties.

Recommendation
Draw
1pt 12-5 Betfair, 188Bet

Key stat
Schalke have lost only one of their last nine games.

Leipzig v Leverkusen

2.30pm

Leipzig's Europa League qualification hopes took a slight knock following Thursday's 2-1 defeat at Celtic, but they should have the answers against an inconsistent Leverkusen.

The hosts have not lost in the Bundesliga since an opening-day defeat at Dortmund, dropping just four points on their own patch, while Leverkusen have won only one of their last five league games and were thumped 4-1 at home to Hoffenheim last weekend.

Recommendation
Leipzig
1pt 6-7 188Bet

Key stat
Leipzig have kept five consecutive home clean sheets.
