Team News

Schalke
Elversberg
  • Karel Geraerts will keep the faith in the same starting XI that beat Nürnberg last Saturday when Elversberg come to town on Friday night.
  • Midfielder Paul Seguin is a doubt as continues to struggle with illness.
  • One change at the most is expected from Horst Steffen on Friday with Manuel Feil an option out wide.
  • Central midfielder Thore Jacobsen will return to the bench this weekend after serving a one-match suspension.

Prediction

  • Schalke continued to build their momentum under new manager Karel Geraerts last weekend when they beat an in-form Nürnberg side at Max-Morlock-Stadion.
  • Friday's hosts have now won back-to-back league games, moving six points clear of 17th-placed Osnabrück in the process.
  • Elversberg's momentum was stunted somewhat last weekend when they faced unbeaten league leaders St. Pauli in what has been their hardest test of the season so far.
  • Despite that defeat, Horst Steffen's men remain a force to be reckoned with and head to the VELTINS-Arena with just one defeat in their last eight league games.
