Prediction: 2-2
Magdeburg
Schalke and Magdeburg face each other at Veltins Arena in what is expected to be a close 2. Bundesliga encounter. Die Knappen aim to build on a 3-1 win over Nurnberg and they are likely to adopt yet another attack-minded approach against Magdeburg. All Amin Younes, Janik Bachmann, and Mauro Zalazar are out of contention with injuries for the home side.
Magdeburg, on the other hand, aim to climb to the automatic promotion berth. As the visitors will go for a victory in Saturday’s clash as well, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. The likes of Lubambo Musonda, Samuel Loric, Emir Kuhinja, and Herbert Bockhorn should miss out with injuries for the visiting team. In their last encounter in Gelsenkirchen, Schalke recorded a 4-3 win over Magdeburg and yet another high-scoring affair is on the cards.
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.
