Schalke hosting Borussia Monchengladbach is a fantastic way to welcome back the Bundesliga for its second half of the season. Not many would have predicted that these teams would have reached the halfway point in the top five. But Marco Rose and David Wagner have done such a phenomenal job with their teams in their first campaign, that both teams are legitimate contenders for Champions League qualification. The second part of the Bundesliga campaign is usually when pressure ratchets up, but it shouldn’t be forgotten that even if either club finishes fifth this season, it counts as success.
