Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
There will be fireworks when two ex-Bundesliga sides Hertha Berlin and Schalke 04 lock horns in the 2. Bundesliga round 26. The capital club aim to recover from a 2-0 loss to St. Pauli and a win over Schalke could see them climb to the top half of the table. Jonjoe Kenny misses Sunday’s game through suspension, while both Tjark Ernst and Agustin Rogel are out of contention with injuries.
Die Knappen, on the other hand, are only five points clear of the relegation zone. Schalke and Hertha seem to be evenly matched at the moment and, taking everything into account, both sides should be happy with one point from the match. As for the away side, midfielder Paul Seguin is sidelined through suspension, while fellow midfielder Dominick Drexler misses out through illness. Defender Brandon Soppy faces race against the clock to be fit for the Olympiastadion showdown.
