Team News

Schalke
Kaiserslautern
  • Kees van Wonderen could make one change to the side that faced Hamburg with Tomas Kalas stepping into the back four.
  • Schalke have just two injuries to contend with ahead of the visit of Kaiserslautern on Friday night.
  • Centre-back Boris Tomiak will return to the Kaiserslautern backline after serving a one-match suspension last weekend.
  • Full-back Erik Wekesser is managing a groin injury and remains a doubt for the trip to the VELTINS-Arena.

Prediction

  • Schalke were trailing 2-0 at the Volksparkstadion heading into the second half last Saturday, but goals from Amin Younes and Kenan Karaman completed a spirited comeback that ultimately cost Steffen Baumgart his job. The hosts are steadily climbing the table following a three-match unbeaten run.
  • Kaiserslautern's charge up the table continued after they scored three first-half goals in an entertaining 3-2 home win against Eintracht Braunschweig. Markus Anfang's men are unbeaten in their last five 2. Bundesliga outings ahead of the trip to the VELTINS-Arena.
