Team News

Schalke
Eintracht Frankfurt
  • Alessandro Schöpf and Bastian Oczipka compete for the spot on the left wing.
  • Weston McKennie should get another chance in central midfield, with Nabil Bentaleb serving a two-match ban and Max Meyer suspended by the club for the final match of his Schalke career.
  • Franco di Santo and Marco Pjaca offer further alternatives in attacking positons.
  • Marco Russ could get a chance in the back-three after Timothy Chandler went off injured last weekend.
  • Ante Rebic could return from injury to offer an alternative in attacking positions.
  • Crowd favourite Alexander Meier is expected to come off the bench again after he scored a late goal in his comeback from injury last weekend.

Prediction

  • Schalke secured second spot with a 2-1 win at Augsburg last weekend. They have nothing to play for anymore, but will want to finish a successful campaign with a convincing home win.
  • Frankfurt got back on track with a 3-0 win over Hamburg last Saturday after they only picked up a single point from their previous five league outings. They will hope to defend seventh spot now, which would be enough for them to qualify for the Europa League, as they play Bayern in the DFB-Pokal final next weekend and the additional Europa League spot would go to the winner of this final or to the seventh of the Bundesliga, if the winner has already qualified for European competiton.
  • Expect this to be a hard-fought game from the outset, with Schalke slight favourites to edge it, although more is at stake for the visitors.
