Bundesliga Week 22: Schalke Whip Wolfsburg, Hannover Down Stuttgart

Schalke absolutely thrashed Wolfsburg Sunday and pulled themselves just one point behind Bayern Munich in the table. Schalke nearly broke open the scoring with just six minutes gone when Julian Draxler’s shot hit the post. Just minutes later they did find the opener. Raul got onto the end of a corner kick and struck it in the back of the net. The Royal Blues were off to a flying start.

Wolfsburg weren’t able to generate any momentum from the saved penalty, and it was Schalke that struck next. Joel Matip redirected a header on a corner kick with a brilliant backheel to make it 3-0. Huntelaar added a header to make it 4-0.

This weekend the league leaders will be without midfielders Mario Götze and Shinji Kagawa. Götze is still out from his pubic bone injury, and Kagawa is now out with an ankle injury. This weekend they travel to Berlin in an attempt to avenge one of their three losses this season. Berlin have been in an absolute freefall since the new year, and Dortmund should still make easy work of them without Kagawa.

Whatever Klopp decides to do more than likely will get the job done against Hertha. There’s no reason to be worried, Dortmund supporters.
