Team News

Schalke
Eintracht Braunschweig
  • Blendi Idrizi is a doubt due to illness, while defender Cedric Brunner is suspended after passing the yellow card threshold.
  • Marcin Kaminski and Ron Schallenberg will both return after serving yellow card suspensions, while Henning Matriciani could start at right-back.
  • Daniel Scherning could hand a debut to central midfielder Hampus Finndell after the Swede joined on loan from Djurgarden.
  • Florian Krüger is doubtful for the away side, while Jan-Hendrik Marx has been ruled out with a calf problem.

Prediction

  • Schalke's plight was worsened last Friday night when they were beaten 4-1 on their travels by a Kaiserslautern side that had been plummeting down the order prior to kick-off. Karel Geraerts' side have claimed just one point from their last three league outings and are only clear of the bottom two on goal difference heading into gameweek 20.
  • Eintracht Braunschweig's sensational escape from the relegation battle continues at breakneck speed. A first-half goal from Ermin Bicakcic proved enough to see off Magdeburg last weekend as Daniel Scherning's side sealed their fourth successive 2.Bundesliga victory.
