Prediction: 3-2
Darmstadt
Schalke will look to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Koln and Karlsruher when they take on Darmstadt in the 2. Bundesliga round 6. Die Knappen are eager to put an end to their four-game winless run and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the struggling Lilywhites. All Paul Seguin, Lino Tempelmann, and Ralf Fahrmann are sidelined with injuries, while Tomas Kalas will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
Darmstadt, on the other hand, made a slow start to the season, with the team collecting only two points in total from possible 15. As Darmstadt have been struggling on the travels this season, we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Schalke’s party in Gelsenkirchen. In their last meeting in the German second tier Schalke rolled over Darmstadt 5-2. All Paul Will, Matthias Bader, Oscal Vilhelmsson, and Fabian Holland are out of contention with injuries for the away team.
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.
