Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Magdeburg
Match Time & Date:
20 September 2025
12:00
Prediction: 2-2
Schalke
Avnet-Arena will host Saturday’s 2. Bundesliga game between Magdeburg and Schalke, the two teams that are sitting in the opposite halves of the table. Magdeburg aim to put an end to their three-game losing run and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against die Knappen. The hosts are boosted by Alexander Nollenberger’s return from suspension, but all Loric, Diawara, Chahed, Bockhorn, and Baars remain in the treatment room.
Schalke 04, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Holstein Kiel. As both sides will go for a win in Saturday’s encounter, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on both teams to score. In their last meeting at Avnet-Arena, the two teams played out a 2-2 draw and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. The likes of Gruger, Hojlund, Kalas, Remmert, and Amoussou-Tchibara 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.
