Team News

Paderborn
Schalke
  • Paderborn boss Lukas Kwasniok could make one change to the side that faced Magdeburg with Kimberly Ezekwem returning on the left.
  • Visar Musliu is the latest name to join the Paderborn injury list ahead of the visit of Schalke on Friday.
  • Two changes are expected from Thomas Reis in the away dugout this weekend with Assan Ouedraogo and Soichiro Kozuki returning to the starting XI.
  • Goalkeeper Ralf Fährmann is among eight confirmed absentees for Schalke on Friday.

Prediction

  • Adriano Grimaldi's first-half goal looked to have set Paderborn on course for all three points at the MDCC-Arena last weekend, but an 85th-minute Luc Castaignos goal levelled the scoreline late on. Only newly promoted Osnabrück and Elversberg have picked up fewer points at home than Paderborn this season.
  • Schalke were no match for Fabian Hürzeler's in-form St. Pauli side last Saturday as Thomas Reis' side were beaten 3-1 on their visit to the Millerntor-Stadion. While their hosts have struggled at the Home Deluxe Arena this season, Schalke have picked up just one point from four away league fixtures.
