Team News

Nuernberg
Schalke
  • Cristian Fiel could make just one change to the side that beat Holstein Kiel in the league with Mats Daehli returning to the starting XI.
  • Centre-back Ivan Marquez remains suspended for the visit of Schalke.
  • Karel Geraerts could make just one change to keep legs fresh in midfield this weekend with teenage starlet Assan Ouedraogo coming in for a start.
  • The away side remain without four first-team players for the trip to Max-Morlock-Stadion.

Prediction

  • The past seven days have been extremely positive for Nürnberg, who have beaten Holstein Kiel 2-0 on the road in the 2. Bundesliga before knocking Hansa Rostock out of the DFB-Pokal in extra time on Wednesday.
  • Cristian Fiel's side have climbed to eighth in the table ahead of the visit of Schalke with three wins in their last four league outings.
  • Schalke survived a late scare to take a deserved victory against Hannover last weekend, marking Karel Geraerts' first home league game as manager with a win.
  • Saturday's visitors ended a four-match losing streak with that result, but have since lost 2-1 in the DFB-Pokal to divisional rivals St. Pauli.
