Prediction: 1-1
Schalke
Karlsruher and Schalke 04 face each other at BBBank Wildpark in the opening match of the 2. Bundesliga round 5. Karlsruher are eyeing their fourth consecutive win in all competitions and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Efe-Kaan Sihlaroglu and Robin Bormuth both remain in the recovery room, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
Die Knappen, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 3-1 loss to Koln. As Schalke will go for a win in Friday’s encounter as well, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. The likes of Paul Seguin, Lino Tempelmann, Ralf Fahrmann, Emil Hojlund, and Tomas Kalas miss out with injuries for the away team. In their last meeting in 2. Bundesliga the two sides played out a goalless draw, but we expect a bit different scenario this time out.
Highlighted Team (Schalke):
Schalke 04 are a professional football club founded in 1904. Die Knappen (The Miners) compete in German Bundesliga and they have won seven domestic titles. Schalke have clinched five German Cup trophies as well, while lifting the UEFA Cup title in 1997. The German club defeated Italian side Inter on penalties in the title game and that was the last time the final of the competition was played in a two-legged format.
Schalke 04 play their home matches at Veltins-Arena, the stadium that has been the home of the team since 2001. The capacity of Veltins-Arena is 62,271. It is well known that Borussia Dortmund are Schalke’s main rivals and the Ruhy neighbours face each other in the Revierderby.
The likes of Klaus Fichtel (477), Norbert Nigbur (355), Rolf Russmann (304), Klaus Fischer (295), Olaf Thon (295) and Herbert Lutkebohmert (286) are the players with most appearances for die Knappen. The colour of Schalke’s home kit is blue.
