In the last game Schalke 04 was completely crushed by a very strong Bayern team. Granted, I do not think that Werder is anywhere near the level as Bayern, but I do think that the trauma and loss will weigh heavily on how the Schalke team comes into the game here. Schalke does have good leadership, but after getting crushed in the opening game I do not see Schalke bouncing back that well as Werder is able to play well enough to bring the game to a draw on the under.
