Prediction: 2-0
Regensburg
Schalke will try to put an end to their five-game winless run in all competitions when they take on Regensburg in the 2. Bundesliga round 12. Die Knappen do not seem to be at their sharpest, with the team struggling both up front and at the back, but Sunday’s clash could be the turning point for Kees van Wonderen’s troops. In their last meeting in Gelsenkirchen Schalke defeated Regensburg 2-1, which is surely fuelling fans with optimism.
The likes of Emil Hojlund, Ilyes Hamache, Bryan Lasme, and Adrian Gantenbein are out of contention with injuries for the home team. Regensburg, on the other hand, defeated Elversberg 1-0 at home in their last league match, but given their dreadful losing run on the road, Schalke will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways in the German second tier. Forward Dejan Galjen is banned 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.
