Prediction: 1-1
Greuther Furth
Buoyed by back-to-back wins over Osnabruck and Hansa Rostock, Schalke will be aiming to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Greuther Furth on Friday afternoon. Die Knappen have been showing signs of improvement of late and, as a result, the bookies see them as slim favourites to win this match. All Sebastian Polter, Ron Schallenberg, Yusuf Kabadayi, Dominick Drexler, Danny Latza, Marius Muller, Leo Greiml, and Ibrahim Maza are sidelined with injuries, but these players have not been sorely missed in recent weeks.
The Cloverleaves, on the other hand, failed to extend their winning run to six games at the weekend, with the team sharing the spoils with Magdeburg in their last league match. Greuther Furth aim to the playoffs berth, but given Schalke’s fine form in December, the share of spoils is on the horizon. Both Gian-Luca Itter and Niko Giesselmann miss out with injuries for the away team.
Highlighted Team (Schalke):
Schalke 04 are a professional football club founded in 1904. Die Knappen (The Miners) compete in German Bundesliga and they have won seven domestic titles. Schalke have clinched five German Cup trophies as well, while lifting the UEFA Cup title in 1997. The German club defeated Italian side Inter on penalties in the title game and that was the last time the final of the competition was played in a two-legged format.
Schalke 04 play their home matches at Veltins-Arena, the stadium that has been the home of the team since 2001. The capacity of Veltins-Arena is 62,271. It is well known that Borussia Dortmund are Schalke’s main rivals and the Ruhy neighbours face each other in the Revierderby.
The likes of Klaus Fichtel (477), Norbert Nigbur (355), Rolf Russmann (304), Klaus Fischer (295), Olaf Thon (295) and Herbert Lutkebohmert (286) are the players with most appearances for die Knappen. The colour of Schalke’s home kit is blue.
