Team News

Karlsruher SC
Schalke
  • Christian Eichner could hand a full league debut to Andrin Hunziker after he scored from the bench against Eintracht Braunschweig.
  • Robin Bormuth and Efe-Kaan Sihlaroglu are both confirmed absentees for the home side.
  • Schalke have six confirmed absentees amongst their ranks, while Bryan Lasme has an outside chance of making the matchday squad.
  • One of those six injury concerns is Moussa Sylla, which leaves Karel Geraerts with a selection dilemma up top on Friday.

Prediction

  • Karlsruher were heading for a damning away defeat against Eintracht Braunschweig last time out before late goals from Andrin Hunziker and Budu Zivzivadze flipped the scoreline.
  • Christian Eichner's men sit second in the standings after four gameweeks having dropped just two points so far this season.
  • Schalke's campaign has already been a rollercoaster ride. The visitors headed into the campaign with dreams of promotion and those dreams looked viable after a 5-1 opening weekend win.
  • However, since then they have taken just one point from a possible nine and lost 3-1 at home against FC Köln in their most recent 2. Bundesliga outing.
