Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Schalke 04 will look to recover from a 1-0 loss to Hannover when they take on Greuther Furth in the 2. Bundesliga round 10. Die Knappen have yet to find their best form, but Saturday’s clash could be the turning point for the home team. Amin Younes is pushing for a recall to the starting XI, while Kenan Karaman serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards. All Antwi-Adjej, Becker, and Gantebein miss out with injuries.
The Cloverleaves, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team failing to win the previous four league matches. As Greuther Furth have suffered three defeats in the previous four league matches, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Schalke. All Gideon Jung, Jomaine Consbruch, and Kerim Calhanoglu are out of contention with injuries for the visiting 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.
