Team News

Schalke
Greuther Fuerth
  • Karel Geraerts could make just one change to the side that beat Hansa Rostock with Cedric Brunner replacing Henning Matriciani at right-back.
  • Schalke have six confirmed absentees for the visit of Greuther Fürth this weekend.
  • Alexander Zorniger will likely opt for an unchanged starting XI on Friday evening as he looks to carry over his side's momentum.
  • Niko Gießelmann and Gian-Luca Itter remain Greuther Fürth's only injury concerns ahead of their trip to the VELTINS-Arena.

Prediction

  • Schalke capitalised on a first-half Junior Brumado red card last weekend, claiming a 2-0 away win at the Ostseestadion thanks to second-half goals from Blendi Idrizi and Kenan Karaman.
  • Back-to-back league wins have lifted the home side out of the bottom three and up to 13th in the standings ahead of the visit of Greuther Fürth.
  • Friday's visitors were on course for yet another victory last Saturday before a 94th-minute goal from Magdeburg's Mohammed El Hankouri levelled the scoreline late on.
  • Alexander Zorniger's men had won five league games on the spin prior to that result and are only outside of the top three on goal difference heading into gameweek 17.
