Bundesliga, Matchday 27 | PREVIEW
Schalke – Hansa Rostock
The final Saturday match sees Schalke welcome Hansa Rostock to the Veltins Arena with the two sides in need of the points for wholly differing reasons.
Four days after their Champions League disappointment at the hands of Barcelona, the Königsblauen are back in the hunt for Bundesliga points as they continue their quest for a top three finish. They sit third right now but couldn’t capitalise last week when those around them failed to win, being held goalless by Karlsruhe.
With just five points separating second from seventh, the race for the Chanpions League places is really hotting up with it being anyone’s guess as to who will finish second and third presuming Bayern finish top.
Hansa need the points for a completely different reason and that is Bundesliga survival. They have manged to avoid the bottom three in recent weeks but the North coast club sit precariously in 14th just two points above the relegation places.
