Match Time & Date:

13:30
Prediction: 1-1
Schalke
BBBank Wildpark will host Sunday’s football game between Karlsruher and Schalke 04, the two bottom-table sides. Karlsruher are eager to put an end to their five-game winless run in 2. Bundesliga and the bookies see them as slim favourites to win the round 10 clash. All Tim Rossmann, Christoph Kobald, Efe-Kaan Sihlaroglu, and Daniel O’Shaughnessy should miss out with injuries for the home team.
Die Knappen, on the other hand, are on a three-match losing run in the German second tier. As the famous German side aim to return to winning ways as well, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. Kenan Karaman is banned for the match, while all Cedric Brunner, Danny Latza, Marius Muller, Ibrahim Maza, and Leo Greiml remain in the treatment room. In their last encounter in the 2. Bundesliga the two sides played out a 1-1 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.
