After going through October and November unbeaten, Schalke have struggled to find their form in December and January, with just a single Bundesliga victory in six outings. The Royal Blues were beaten by Eintracht Frankfurt last time out – yet they pushed Bayern all the way on Matchday 2, only conceding goals from Robert Lewandowski and Joshua Kimmich in the final ten minutes. Forward Guido Burgstaller has made a bright start to life at Schalke, but it will nevertheless be a tall order for Markus Weinzierl's men to claim their first Bundesliga win at Bayern since April 2009.
