Bayern Munich will continue their quest for the Bundesliga title this Saturday when they welcome a Schalke side fighting for their lives.
The hosts kept their slender one-point lead at the top of the Bundesliga table thanks to a 1-0 win over Werder Bremen last time.
With just three rounds of league action remaining, this is the tightest title race at this stage of the season since Bayern Munich were level on points with Wolfsburg back in 2008/09 before ultimately failing to lift the title. But they will hope to hang on for a record-extending 11th-straight Bundesliga crown this time.
But nothing is guaranteed yet despite the odds being in their favour. But they can at least be expected to win here, given their strong record across their last 21 league games against promoted sides (W17, D3, L1).

Yet, since Die Roten have shown vulnerability in their home games against sides ranked 14th or lower, dropping vital points in two of them (W2, D2), Schalke will be confident of leaving Allianz Arena with something.
The Royal Blues have enjoyed a massive resurgence under Thomas Reis, with three victories across the past four rounds pushing them out of the bottom three places.
Reis was in charge of Bochum when they beat Bayern last season, so he will be looking to cause another colossal upset and end his side’s five-game losing streak at the Allianz Arena.
