Team News

Fortuna Duesseldorf
Schalke
  • Yannik Engelhardt will return to the starting XI this weekend after he served a one-match suspension when Fortuna Düsseldorf faced Greuther Fürth.
  • Striker Vincent Vermeij is also expected to return after missing that game with a minor injury problem.
  • Ron Schallenberg, Kenan Karaman and Tomas Kalas are both fresh injury concerns for Schalke boss Karel Geraerts this weekend.
  • With that trio unavailable, Blendi Idrizi, Danny Latza and Simon Terodde could all start for the visitors.

Prediction

  • Fortuna Düsseldorf couldn't produce a response to Robert Wagner's 48th-minute goal last weekend as they were beaten 1-0 on their travels by Alexander Zorniger's Greuther Fürth side. Saturday's hosts have lost back-to-back league games ahead of the visit of Schalke, dropping to fifth in the table in the process.
  • Schalke found themselves trailing by two goals after just 21 minutes against Elversberg last time out as they went on to lose 2-1 at home against the reigning 3.Liga champions. That defeat squashed some of the visitors' momentum, dropping them back into the relegation playoff spot that they had climbed out from with back-to-back league wins.
