Team News

Schalke
Fortuna Duesseldorf
  • No changes are expected from Kees van Wonderen off the back of a dramatic win against Paderborn.
  • Midfielder Tobias Mohr is Schalke's only injury concern heading into gameweek 16.
  • Left-back Nicolas Gavory and midfielder Karim Affo are both sidelined for the trip to the VELTINS-Arena.
  • Daniel Thioune will likely name an unchanged line-up here after a commanding win against Eintracht Braunschweig last weekend.

Prediction

  • Schalke fans were fearing the worst as they travelled to the Home Deluxe Arena to take on league leaders Paderborn, but the 2. Bundesliga's fallen giants responded well to an early setback as they romped to a 4-2 away victory. Kees van Wonderen's men have now lost just one of their last five league games.
  • Fortuna Düsseldorf's form was becoming a major cause for concern heading into gameweek 15, but Daniel Thioune's side got back on track in emphatic fashion, hammering a struggling Eintracht Braunschweig squad 5-0 on home soil. That result ended a five-match winless run and moved the visitors back up to fifth in the standings.
