Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-1
Schalke
Fortuna Dusseldorf were on the verge of beating Koln on the road, but the Billy Goats eventually scored two late goals to pick up one point from the match. Uwe Rosler’s men, though, proved their worth in their last league match, and it is no wonder odds for Fortuna to beat Schalke on Matchday 28 are dropping rapidly. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Erik Thommy, who impressed in the 2-2 draw with Koln.
Die Knappen, on the other hand, have been slipping down the standings week by week. The club is currently in a financial trouble, which is the main reason why Schalke 04 footballers have been playing below expectations of late. Considering that Fortuna Dusseldorf are eager to secure yet another Bundesliga survival, home win should be considered this time out.
