The last games this year were supposed to be won by Schalke. Augsburg, Freiburg and Bielefeld. These are usually the games that should mean 3 points for each game. But with the current performance this will mean 3 points for the opponents.
Two matche allowed Schalke to get 3 point in December including Schalke playing against Bielefeld and Freiburg. Because so far Schalke has only managed to get 3 point from 10 matche, only the two matche I mentioned have the chance to win. Being last in the standing mean Schalke is likely to be relegated at the end of the season if they can't win more game and this is not really what the fans want.
