Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Following three consecutive defeats in 2. Bundesliga, Eintracht Braunschweig will look to return to winning ways when they take on Schalke 04 on Matchday 18. Die Lowen failed to find the net in the previous four league matches and they face yet another difficult task against die Knappen. As both Christian Conteh and Sven Kohler miss out through suspension, home win should not be considered.
Schalke, on the other hand, aim to build on a thrilling 4-1 win over Elversberg. Given Braunschweig’s poor form in the German second tier, we predict that the visitors are going to pick up all three points from the match. In the first half of the season, Schalke rolled over Eintracht Braunschweig 5-1 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. Both Amin Younes and Janik Bachmann are major doubts and the duo will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
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.
