Team News

Freiburg
Schalke
  • Maximilian Eggestein and Roland Sallai are both suspended after picking up their fifth yellow cards, while Michael Gregoritsch is struggling with an ankle injury.
  • Manuel Gulde went off with a thigh injury against Bayern and is ruled out. Daniel-Kofi Kyereh is out long-term after suffering an ACL injury.
  • Eder Balanta had to break off training in midweek with a knee injury and is doubtful. Maya Yoshida is ruled out with a muscle injury, and Tom Krauss is suspended after picking up his fifth yellow card. Tim Skarke, Cedric Brunner and Ralf Fährmann all went off against Hertha with various knocks and are ruled out for a few weeks.
  • Soichiro Kozuki is ruled out with an ankle problem. Sebastian Polter and Justin Heekeren have both suffered ACL injuries and will not play again this season.

Prediction

  • Schalke won the mother of all relegation six-pointers last Friday 5-2 against Hertha Berlin to move off the foot of the table.
  • Schalke started the year with an eight-game unbeaten run but boast the tamest attack in the league, only scoring 26 goals, despite scoring five last time out.
  • Dutch goalkeeper Mark Flekken has kept 10 clean sheets for fifth-placed Freiburg who relinquished their club home record run of 12 undefeated games to Bayern in their last home game.
  • Freiburg have conceded exactly one goal in their last eight home games. Nine would be a new Bundesliga record.
  • Pushing hard for Champions League qualification, Freiburg have beaten Schalke four times in succession without conceding and should claim the points again on home soil.
