Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Greuther Furth will look to finish the 2023/2024 2. Bundesliga in style when they welcome Schalke to their Sportpark Ronhof Thomas Sommer on Sunday afternoon. The Cloverleaves are undefeated in the previous three league matches and they are surely capable of matching die Knappen in front of home fans. All Maximilian Dietz, Julian Green, Gian-Luca Itter, and Nils-Jonathan Körber remain on the sidelines with injuries.
Die Knappen, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Osnabruck and Hansa Rostock. Considering that Schalke have been sharp in front of goal of late, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. The likes of Tomas Kalas, Brandon Soppy, Derry John Murkin, Ralf Fahrmann, and Leo Greiml miss out through injuries for the visiting team. In their last meeting in the German second tier the two sides played out a 2-2 draw.
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.
