Team News

Schalke
Karlsruher SC
  • Ron Schallenberg has been sidelined for the visit of Karlsruher so expect Marcin Kaminski to start on Sunday.
  • Karel Geraerts will have central midfielder Paul Seguin available after he served a suspension during the defeat to Hertha Berlin.
  • Christian Eichner could make one change to the side that beat Magdeburg with Dzenis Burnic replacing Leon Jensen after serving his suspension.
  • Robin Bormuth is out long-term after suffering an ACL injury, while Nicolai Rapp is a doubt for the trip to the VELTINS-Arena.

Prediction

  • Schalke found two rapid responses after going 1-0 and 2-1 down against Hertha Berlin last time out, but their opponents stretched their legs soon after with a Marten Winkler brace setting Karel Geraerts' side on course for a 5-2 away defeat. The home side have now been sucked back into the relegation battle after failing to win successive games.
  • Karlsruher turned in one of the most dominant performances of the 2.Bundesliga season so far two weeks ago, scoring four goals inside the opening 25 minutes on their way to a 7-0 win against Magdeburg. KSC are firing themselves into the promotion race after winning three of their last four league games.
