Our prediction for this DFB Pokal match:
Augsburg
Match Time & Date:
29/10/2024
18:00
Prediction: 3-1
Schalke
WWK Arena will host Tuesday’s DFB Pokal clash between Augsburg and Schalke. The Bavarians aim to build on a 2-1 win over Borussia Dortmund and they are seen as hot favourites to win the German Cup game as well. A man to watch in the home team will be Alexis Claude-Maurice, who scored a brace against Dortmund, while all Frank Onyeka, Marius Wolf, Fredrik Jensen, Mads Pedersen, Ruben Vargas, Daniel Klein, and Reece Oxford remain in the treatment room.
Die Knappen, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-3 loss to Greuther Furth at the weekend. Considering that Augsburg are high on confidence ahead of Tuesday’s clash, we predict that the visitors are going to return home with their hands empty. All Bryan Lasme, Vitalie Becker, Christopher Antwi-Adjei, and Adrian Gantenbein are sidelined with injuries for the visiting side.
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.

Schalke have clinched five German Cup trophies as well, while lifting the UEFA Cup title in 1997.

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.
