Team News

Elversberg
Schalke
  • Horst Steffen could make two changes to the side that beat St. Pauli with Thore Jacobsen and Joseph Boyamba stepping into the starting XI.
  • Elversberg will be without five first-team players on Friday, including Frederik Jäkel and Semih Sahin.
  • Cedric Brunner suffered a knee injury during the game against Nürnberg and will be replaced by Brandon Soppy on Friday.
  • Karel Geraerts has banished both Timo Baumgartl and Dominick Drexler to the under-23s for disciplinary reasons.

Prediction

  • Elversberg took a giant leap towards 2. Bundesliga survival last weekend as late goals from Paul Wanner and Hugo Vandermarsch helped seal a surprise 4-3 away win against promotion contenders St. Pauli.
  • Horst Steffen's men are now eight points clear of 16th-placed Hansa Rostock with five games remaining.
  • Schalke also sealed a pivotal victory in their bid to avoid a disastrous relegation when they faced Nürnberg last time out with Kenan Karaman and Paul Seguin netting late in each half to seal a 2-0 home win.
  • Friday's visitors were winless in four prior to that result but are now four points clear of 16th place.
