It has been a rough patch for Schalke 04 lately in the Bundesliga and they will be glad to pause that for DFB Pokal action when they host Bayern Munich in Gelsenkirchen. To get to the quarter finals of the cup, Schalke saw off Hertha Berlin 3-2 in extra time as Bayern were 4-3 winners over Hoffenheim. They go to this game without a goal in their last three matches and have no win in the last four matches, while their only win in the last seven matches, came in extra time. Schalke have one clean sheet in their last five matches and have conceded a massive eight goals in just their last two matches. They were whipped 3-0 by Koln in their last match, that coming after a 5-0 loss to Leipzig and in their last match against Bayern Munich, they lost 5-0. This faceoff looks very gloomy for Schalke though they may bear some hope, by the fact that they have lost just two of their 13 home matches this season. One of their two home losses, was a 3-0 beating by Bayern Munich. They have just six wins out of the 13 home matches. In their last three DFB Pokal matches, they have registered straight wins and scored three or more goals. They have lost once in seven matches in the competition and four of their last five matches in the competition have produced over 2.5 goals.

Bayern Munich, on the other hand, march to this game unbeaten in 13 matches. They have won 12 of the 13 matches and right ahead of this game, they hit Hoffenheim 6-0. They have no conceded a goal in their last two matches and have scored 16 goals in the last four matches. Bayern have played 34 matches this season and have only failed to score once – against Leipzig. They have scored three of more goals in eight of their last nine matches and they have six clean sheets in their last 10 matches. Playing away, Bayern have won each of their last six and have scored three or more goals in each of these. Bayern have also not lost any of their last nine DFB Pokal matches though they have just one clean sheet in the last eight but they have scored three or more in six of the last seven. They have seven straight wins over Schalke and have not lost to Schalke in 20 matches.
