xGoals
The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).

Tuchel: "We have our own aims"
The Bayern boss is fully aware of Die Königsblauen's resurgence, but is confident his side will be able to win without adapting their game to their opponents. "Schalke have had a few dramatic wins. Their confidence is intact. This success has given them a boost, and they're the 8th best side in the second half of the season. We have our own aims and want to control the game."
Reis: "We know what to expect"
Schalke's form in recent weeks has given them a fighting chance of securing Bundesliga survival, and Reis believes those positive results will put his team in good stead. "We have lots of respect for Bayern, but will do all we can to get what we want from the game," he explained in his pre-match press conference. "We have got ourselves into a good position and want to give them a real game. We know what to expect and can't let our heads drop if something doesn't go well."

Spot-kick sensation!
Stirring Schalke
The Royal Blues have put up quite a fight for survival in the second half of the season. A last-gasp victory at Mainz last Friday was their second win in a row and lifted them out of the bottom three for the first time in over seven months.
Can Schalke shake off Bayern curse?
Schalke have not beaten Bayern in their previous 24 meetings - you have to go back to 2011 to find the last time Schalke beat the record champions (as that was in the DFB Cup, you have to go back to 2010 in the Bundesliga). What a time it would be to end that poor record, though!

Bayern beat Bremen to hold top spot
Three hurdles left
It hasn't all been smooth sailing for Bayern Munich this season, but they go into the clash against Schalke one point in front of Dortmund with just three matches of the season remaining. A win would not decide anything, but it would take the record German champions a lot closer to the finish line with an 11th consecutive Bundesliga title in sight.
