Team News

Schalke
Magdeburg
  • Schalke boss Thomas Reis could make two changes to the side that faced Wehen Wiesbaden with new signing Derry John Murkin and striker Sebastian Polter both stepping into the starting XI.
  • January signing Tomas Kalas will have to wait until late October to make his debut as he continues his recovery from a knee injury.
  • Just a single change is expected from Christian Titz this weekend with Silas Gnaka in line for a recall in central midfield.
  • Cristiano Piccini and Daniel Elfadli will both miss the trip to the VELTINS-Arena on Saturday afternoon.

Prediction

  • Schalke were pegged back deep into injury time by newly promoted Wehen Wiesbaden on the last league outing after Max Reinthaler scored late on. Thomas Reis' side have endured a difficult return to the second tier, winning just one of their opening five league games this season.
  • While the home side have struggled during the opening stages of the campaign, the same cannot be said for Magdeburg. The visitors looked like relegation certainties during the early parts of last season, but are one of just three unbeaten sides in the division in 2023/24 after their latest win in a ten-goal thriller against Hertha Berlin.
