Bayern won most of their home games this season in the league with the exception of a loss to Bayer Leverkusen (1-2) and two draws vs. Borussia Dortmund (1-1) and Borussia Monchengladbach (1-1). Most recently Bayern beat VfB Stuttgart 0-2 and Mainz 0-3.

Schalke 04 most recently lost to SpVgg Greuther Furth at home 1-2 and in the match before that they tied FC Augsburg 0-0. It should be noted that Schalke beat Arsenal in London in October in Group B of the UEFA Champions League and that they tied them 2-2 again in Gelsenkirchen in November.

How is it going to play out? Can Schalke do something at the Allianz Arena? They would definitely love points out of this game as they have a few spots to climb if they want to qualify for the UEFA Champions League next season.

Will Bayern continue their domination on the home front?
