Team News

Schalke
Nuernberg
  • At least one change is on the cards for the home side with Bryan Lasme expected to replace Keke Topp up front.
  • Karel Geraerts will be without five first-team players when Nürnberg visit the VELTINS-Arena on Saturday afternoon.
  • Expect a minimum of two changes from Cristian Fiel with Enrico Valentini and Benjamin Goller both in line for recalls.
  • James Lawrence is Nürnberg's only injury concern here, but Joe Hungbo has been ruled out after he was sent off during the defeat against Holstein Kiel.

Prediction

  • Schalke were on course for a vital three points against promotion-chasing Hannover last time out before a late Paul Seguin own goal levelled the scoreline with fewer than 10 minutes on the clock. Karel Geraerts' men are winless in their last four league games and sit three points clear of 17th-placed Kaiserslautern.
  • Nürnberg were no match for automatic promotion hopefuls Holstein Kiel last weekend as a 12th-minute Joe Hungbo red card set Cristian Fiel's side on course for a heavy home defeat. The visitors have picked up just one point from the last nine available and have nothing left to play for ahead of the trip to the VELTINS-Arena.
