Team News

Schalke
Greuther Fuerth
  • Kees van Wonderen could make three changes on Saturday with Paul Seguin, Amin Younes and Bryan Lasme returning to the starting XI.
  • Kenan Karaman will miss out through suspension after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season last weekend.
  • Under-21s manager Leo Haas has been put in charge of Greuther Fürth until the Winterpause after Alexander Zorgniger was sacked.
  • Left-back Kerim Calhanoglu is the away side's only injury concern for the trip to the VELTINS-Arena.

Prediction

  • Schalke found themselves trailing after just four minutes last Saturday as Fabian Kunze put Hannover ahead, and Kees van Wonderen's men were unable to find a way back into the game. The hosts have won just one of their last eight 2.Bundesliga matches heading into this clash.
  • Fortunately for Schalke, their visitors are in an equally uninspiring vein of form. Greuther Fürth were hammered 4-0 on home soil by an inconsistent Nürnberg side last Sunday, and that defeat led to the end of Alexander Zorniger's time in charge. Leo Haas takes charge of a side that has taken just two points from the last 15 available.
