Team News

Schalke
Hansa Rostock
  • Karel Geraerts could opt for an unchanged starting XI on Saturday after his side hammered Osnabrück on Tuesday night.
  • Right-back Cedric Brunner is closing in on a return to action, but Schalke still have a lengthy injury list.
  • Defensive duo Konstantinos Stafylidis and Jasper van der Werff have both been ruled out for Mersad Selimbegovic's side.
  • Nils Fröling, Lukas Scherff and Felix Ruschke are all doubtful for Hansa Rostock this weekend.

Prediction

  • Schalke scored twice inside the opening five minutes against a relegated Osnabrück side on Tuesday night en route to a commanding 4-0 away win. That result confirmed the home side's 2. Bundesliga survival and helped them climb to 11th in the standings, unbeaten in their last six league outings.
  • Hansa Rostock's concerning end to the season took another negative turn last Saturday as Nico Neidhart's first-half goal was cancelled out by a quickfire Karlsruher double in the second 45. Mersad Selimbegovic's men have lost four league games on the spin and are heading for the trap door if they can't end that streak in the remaining two gameweeks.
