SCH vs LEV Dream11 Match Preview: Having suffered a big set-back at home against reigning champions Bayern Munich, Champions League-chasing Bayer Leverkusen know they have to return to winning ways to boost their chances of finishing in top-four. A visit to Veltins-Arena awaits them with a struggling Schalke team awaiting them this Sunday night (IST).
Fifth-placed Leverkusen (56 pts) were in the title race not so long ago, but a run of three defeats in four games has even put the Champions League qualification under real threat. But not everything is doom and gloom, for 4th-placed Borussia Monchengladbach, who lost 1-2 at Bayern Munich on Saturday, are ahead only on a better goal difference. Even a draw will be enough for Leverkusen to jump to fourth on the table.
Schalke also have some motivation left to make one last push in the season, which has been near disaster for a team of their profile. They are currently outside the top-half but could force their way into the top half with the maximum return from this game. Schalke arrive fresh after ending a four-game losing skid following a 1-1 draw at Union Berlin.
