Bayern will look to close the gap on league leaders RB Leipzig as they take on Schalke - a team they enjoy a strong record against - on Saturday, January 25th.

Preview: Bayern vs Schalke

It's been a tough season for Bayern, but they are now pressing aggressively to chase down RB Leipzig in the battle for top spot in the Bundesliga. Die Roten are not used to have to chase down anyone. They are the team who everyone else has to chase, but after Niko Kovac's sacking, the Bavarian titans have not had it easy, and it doesn't look like their quest to make sure the Bundesliga title remains in Munich is going to be a smooth sailing affair, either.

The hosts have won four on the trot and will ceratainly be fancying their chances at closing the gap on RB Leipzig to potentially just one point should they win here and Leipzig drop points from their clash.

As for Schalke, they again will be losing a key player next season, with goalkeeper Alexander Nübel set to move on via free transfer at the conclusion of the current campaign. To add insult to injury, he's not even set to play against his future teammates, as he's suspended for this game after picking up a four match ban. That means that youngster Markus Schubert will have to feature in goal as the visitors aim to end their frustrating hoodoo against a team who have beaten them in their last 20 meetings across all competitions. They're also missing star player Weston McKennie, with the American international still recovering from a shoulder operation.

The visitors come into this game having eased to a relatively comfortable 2-0 win over Gladbach last round, as Gladbach continue to tumble down the table after surprisingly being in top spot for part of the first half of the season. Schalke overall are unbeaten in all but one of their last ten games, and find themslves in fifth spot ahead of this contest.
