Schalke Vs Galatasaray Prediction 12/03/2013


Schalke 04 - Galatasaray 1.85 - 5.15

Mixed fortunes for these two sides at the weekend. Schalke won the “revier derby” against Borussia Dortmund, while the league leaders in Turkey lost a home game against Glencerbirligi. There was absolutely no talk about Galatasaray playing with reserves.
Schalke defeated Borussia, a massive result for the club, but they lost their sharp shooter Huntelaar to an injury and he is out for the season. That is a devastating blow and Marica, forward as well, is also on their injury list. J Jones will be suspended for this game, but Uchida, missing in the first leg, will be back in their defence. Schalke can play with one striker, Pukki, or choose playing without strikers.
Sneijder seems to play at most for an hour or so in the Galatasaray games, obviously not yet fully fit, but I expect both Drogba and Sneijder in the starting line up tomorrow. J Elmander is still injured.
Schalke go through with a 0-0 result and without Huntelaar maybe it is the best they can hope for tomorrow. It is all about the odds and under the present circumstances day I have to risk some cash on the outsider. There will be one or two Turks in the stands and 5.15 are great odds on the away win.
