Team News

Schalke
Paderborn
  • Karel Geraerts will likely opt for the same starting XI that beat table toppers St. Pauli in gameweek 24.
  • Tobias Mohr and Henning Matriciani are both doubtful for the visit of Paderborn this weekend.
  • Expect an unchanged starting XI from Paderborn manager Lukas Kwasniok this weekend.
  • Martin Ens serves the third and final instalment of his suspension here, while the away side have four confirmed injury absentees.

Prediction

  • Goals from Yusuf Kabadayi and Kenan Karaman helped to seal a priceless victory last Friday as Schalke clinched a deserved 3-1 home win against league leaders St. Pauli. The hosts have eased relegation fears in recent weeks by winning three of their last five 2. Bundesliga games.
  • Paderborn attempted 16 shots against a ten-man Magdeburg side last Sunday but were unable to find a way through as Saturday's visitors were forced to settle for a goalless draw. Lukas Kwasniok's men have lost just one of their last six league games and sit three points behind third-placed Hamburg in the table.
