Dynamo Dresden
Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-2
Schalke
There will be fireworks when Dynamo Dresden and Schalke go head to head in a highly-anticipated 2. Bundesliga game. The Yellow-Blacks desperately needed a win against Arminia Bielefeld and they managed to get one, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence. Midfielder Luca Herrmann is expected to start from the bench once again despite scoring the winner as a substitute at Arminia, while the likes of Daferner, Vermeij, and Zickler miss out with injuries.
Die Knappen, on the other hand, did remarkably well to beat Bochum 2-1 at the weekend, but given their difficulties on the road, we are tempted to place our bets on draw this time out. Bryan Lasme is pushing for a start after finding his goal-scoring touch in recent weeks, while trio Kalas – Remmert – Amoussou-Tchibara remains in the treatment room. You should know that over 2.5 goals have been netted in each of the last five meetings between the two sides.
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.
