Prediction: 2-2
Schalke
A highly-anticipated football game between St. Pauli and Schalke will bring down the curtain on Saturday’s program in the 2. Bundesliga round 7. St. Pauli produced their best performance of the season at the weekend, with the team rolling over Holstein Kiel 5-1 in front of home fans and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Both Scott Banks and Jackson Irvine remain on the sidelines with injuries, but head coach Fabian Hurzeler can count on key players for the Schalke showdown.
Die Knappen, on the other hand, looked sharp in front of goal in a thrilling 4-3 win over Magdeburg and, taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. Schalke’s injury list is pretty long, including the likes of Ralf Fahrmann, Danny Latza, Marius Muller, Simon Terodde, Bryan Lasme, Kenan Karaman, Ibrahim Maza, and Leo Greiml.
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.
