FC Schalke 04 sit 11th in the Bundesliga on 5 points from 4 matches, having scored 3 and conceded 4. On the model's scale they rate 0.68 in attack and 0.78 in defence (1.00 = an average top-flight side, lower defence is better), against Bundesliga averages of 1.04 and 0.97: hard to break down but short of goals. Across their last 4 league matches they have 1 win, 2 draws and 1 defeat, most recently drawing with SV Elversberg 0-0 at home. That is 1.25 points a match, scoring 0.75 and conceding 1.00 per game across 1 win, 2 draws and 1 defeat. That leaves them 7 points behind Borussia Dortmund at the top, in a table of 18. Among the 18 rated sides in the division that is the 17th-best attack and the 3rd-best defence. They scored in 2 of those 4 and kept 3 clean sheets. Next they travel to SC Freiburg in the Bundesliga on 11 October 2026, a match the model gives them 24%.
