Team News

Karlsruher SC
Schalke
  • Christian Eichner looks set to make two changes as Karlsruher return to league action with Marco Thiede and Leon Jensen both hoping to start.
  • KSC remain without four first-team players, but Tim Rossmann is closing in on a return from a muscle injury.
  • New manager Karel Geraerts could hand starts to Paul Seguin and Yusuf Kabadayi as he prepares for his first game in charge of Schalke.
  • Forward Kenan Karaman is unavailable after he was sent off in the defeat to Hertha Berlin.

Prediction

  • Karlsruher opened the scoring just 11 minutes into their game against Magdeburg prior to the international break before a goal from substitute Luc Castaignos eventually pegged them back.
  • Christian Eichner's side emerged from the two-week stoppage needing to end a run of five straight league games without a win.
  • A late goal from Yusuf Kabadayi did little to boost Schalke's spirits two weeks ago as they were beaten 2-1 at home by Hertha Berlin, who were also relegated from the Bundesliga last season.
  • Many expected the visitors to bounce straight back, but after nine games they sit 16th in the table having lost three league games in a row.
