Team News

Schalke
St. Pauli
  • Karel Geraerts could make two changes to the side that was hammered by Magdeburg with Brandon Soppy and Simon Terodde both returning.
  • Tobias Mohr is suffering from illness and is expected to be one of three Schalke players absent on Friday.
  • Elias Saad has served his suspension and should return to the starting XI at the VELTINS-Arena.
  • The only selection question focuses on the striker position with Dapo Afolayan and Johannes Eggestein both options for Fabian Hürzeler.

Prediction

  • Schalke suffered a damning defeat against a mid-table Magdeburg side last Saturday, conceding three times in the first half on their visit to the MDCC-Arena.
  • Karel Geraerts' side have lost four of their last six 2. Bundesliga games, leaving them just four points clear of 17th-placed Hansa Rostock.
  • A rampant first-half performance set St. Pauli on course for a priceless three points against fellow promotion hopefuls Holstein Kiel last Friday night.
  • This weekend's visitors now sit six points clear at the top of the 2. Bundesliga table with a ten-point buffer to Greuther Fürth in fourth.
