Prediction: 2-2
Karlsruher
Schalke will be looking to recover from back-to-back losses to Magdeburg and Koln when they take on Karlsruher on Matchday 22. Die Knappen are only four points clear of the relegation zone, meaning that Sunday’s game is of big importance for the home side. Paul Seguin is back from suspension, while both Emil Hojlund and Moussa Sylla are out of contention with injuries.
The visiting team, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form as well, losing three of their last four league games. As both Karlsruher and Schalke will go for a victory in this match, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Both Efe-Kaan Sihlaroglu and Andrin Hunziker are out of contention with injuries for the away team, while midfielder Lilian Egloff is pushing for a recall to the starting XI after coming as a substitute in the last league match.
