Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-2
Schalke
WWK Arena will host Saturday’s football game between Augsburg and Schalke, the two bottom-table sides. The Bavarians suffered a 5-3 loss to Bayern Munich in the local derby, but their display against the league leaders was anything but poor. All Niklas Dorsch, Fredrik Jensen, Felix Uduokhai, Andre Hahn, and Tobias Strobl remain in the recovery room, while Reece Oxford is a major doubt.
Die Knappen, on the other hand, did well to hold Borussia Dortmund to a 2-2 draw in the Ruhr derby, but they remained in the relegation zone. Since the visitors are eager to return to winning ways as well, we are going to bet on both teams to score. Schalke’s injury list includes the likes of Kozuki, Drexler, Latza, Ouwejan, Uronen, Skarke, Polter, and Heekeren. In the first half of the season Augsburg defeated Schalke 3-2, which is yet another reason why this betting option should be considered.
Highlighted Player (Fredrik Jensen):
Fredrik Jensen is a Norwegian footballer who plays for Belgian side Zulte Waregem as a midfielder. Jensen started his senior career at Odd and he made no less than 129 appearances for the Norwegian club (league) from 2012 to 2017. The 185-cm tall player then decided to take a step forward in his career and he joined Zulte Waregem in the summer of 2017.
Fredrik Jensen signed a four-year deal with the Belgian outfit and his contract should expire on June 30, 2021. Jensen’s main position is defensive midfield, but he is used as a central midfielder as well. The Zulte Waregem footballer, whose preferred foot is right, has yet to make his debut for Norway at senior level.
Fredrik Jensen made his Zulte Waregem debut in a thrilling 5-0 win over Eupen, with the Norwegian midfielder coming as a substitute for Onur Kaya in the dying minutes of the match. Jensen was born in Skien, Norway on May 18, 1993.
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.
