Team News

Paderborn
Schalke
  • Marcel Hoffmeier and Adriano Grimaldi should both return to the bench for the visit of Schalke after serving one-match suspensions against Elversberg.
  • Expect Lukas Kwasniok to make a few changes on Friday evening with Sven Michel and Luis Engelns among those pushing for recalls.
  • Kees van Wonderen could make a couple of changes on Friday evening with central midfielder Paul Seguin and striker Bryan Lasme both options.
  • Midfielder Tobias Mohr is Schalke's only injury concern for the trip to the Home-Deluxe-Arena.

Prediction

  • Second-half goals from Koen Kostons and Calvin Brackelmann helped Paderborn complete an impressive comeback against an in-form Elversberg side last time out, winning 3-1 at the URSAPHARM-Arena. The hosts are now four points clear of second-placed Hamburg and unbeaten in their last five 2. Bundesliga matches.
  • Schalke failed to score any of their 17 shots against Kaiserslautern last weekend as Markus Anfang's men departed the VELTINS-Arena with all three points following a 3-0 away win. That result ended a three-match unbeaten run for Kees van Wonderen's side and left Friday's visitors just one point clear of the relegation zone.
