Only three sides saw both teams score in more league games than Schalke’s 17.
Schalke failed to score in just one league game this season.

An end-to-end encounter

While only Aue have picked up fewer than Dynamo Dresden’s woeful six-point return across the last ten rounds (D6, L4), they have at least shown they can avoid defeat and grab some goals in the process as the desperate fight for survival rages on.

The hosts know that only victory will provisionally lift them out of the relegation zone and as such, they must throw the kitchen sink at this one in search of victory. However, a fast start will be necessary seeing as they are one of just six sides yet to win a league game when falling behind at any stage of the match (D4, L13).

An immediate top-flight return is the goal for Schalke and they can at least provisionally break into the top-three with victory in this clash. Only one side all season have kept Schalke from scoring, so they should not really have any problems finding the net against a Dresden outfit with no clean sheets in five games.

Quality should win the day

It is certainly tough to predict how games such as this will play out, as the desire to win promotion is so often ousted by the sheer survival instinct that relegation-battling teams so often show at this stage of the campaign.

Considering the trends between these sides, we predict that backing both teams to score in this game is the smart play. As for the correct score, Schalke should realistically have enough in the locker to overcome Dresden, perhaps by a 2-1 scoreline.

只有三支球队两队在联赛中的进球数超过了沙尔克的17个。
沙尔克本赛季只有一场联赛没有进球。
只有最后七支客队中的一支让德累斯顿没有进球。
德累斯顿在过去的十场联赛中都没能赢得胜利。
一个端到端的遇到

在过去的10轮比赛中，只有奥比迪纳摩-德累斯顿的6分还少，但他们至少证明了他们可以避免失败，并在这场为生存而进行的绝望之战中取得一些进球。

东道主知道只有胜利才能暂时把他们从降级区拉出来，因此，他们必须把厨房水槽扔到这个人身上，以寻求胜利。然而，一个快速的开始将是必要的，因为他们是仅有的六支在比赛任何阶段都落后的球队之一(D4, L13)。

沙尔克的目标是立即回归甲级联赛，他们至少可以通过这场比赛的胜利暂时进入前三。整个赛季只有一支球队阻止了沙尔克进球，所以在五场比赛都没有失球的情况下，面对德累斯顿，他们要进球应该不是什么难事。

质量是取胜的关键

当然，很难预测像这样的比赛将会如何进行，因为在降级战中，球队往往会表现出纯粹的生存本能，从而扼杀了晋级的欲望。

考虑到这两支球队之间的趋势，我们预测支持两支球队在这场比赛中得分是明智的做法。至于正确的得分，沙尔克应该有足够的空间来战胜德累斯顿，也许会以2-1的比分领先。
