Team News

Eintracht Braunschweig
Schalke
  • Turkish centre-back Hasan Kurucay missed the trip to the MDCC-Arena through suspension but will return to the starting XI for the visit of Schalke.
  • Jens Härtel could make a couple of other changes with Robin Krausse and Kaan Caliskaner returning to the side.
  • Cedric Brunner is unavailable for the trip to Eintracht-Stadion, so expect centre-back Henning Matriciani to play out of position on the right.
  • Centre-back Ibrahima Cissé has served his suspension but will likely have to settle for a place on the bench on Sunday.

Prediction

  • Eintracht Braunschweig had a mountain to climb after just 32 minutes two weeks ago when they conceded twice early on against an in-form Magdeburg side. Jens Härtel's side narrowly avoided relegation last season and have started this season poorly too, losing both of their first two league games.
  • Schalke avenged their embarrassing opening-day defeat to Hamburg when they faced Kaiserslautern last time out. Thomas Reis' men capitalised on two Kaiserslautern red cards that day to cruise to a 3-0 home win and get their promotion charge up and running with three points.
