Team News

Greuther Furth
  • Felix Klaus could start on the left wing again with Tobias Mikkelsen dropping to the bench.
  • Djiby Fall is injured, meaning Edu could make his debut against his former club, who loaned him out to Fürth this summer.
Schalke 04
  • Jermaine Jones will most likely drop to the bench to make way for Ibrahim Afellay, who will start in a Schalke shirt for the first time. Lewis Holtby will drop to defensive midfield.
  • If Jefferson Farfán returns from international duty in good condition, he will start on the right wing. Otherwise, Tranquillo Barnetta is an option to replace him.

Prediction

  • In a tough game at Mainz last weekend, Fürth earned their first three Bundeliga points. A home game against Schalke is a difficult task, but they will have a lot more confidence thanks to that victory.
  • Schalke have started well with four points from two games. The addition of Ibrahim Afellay further improves their midfield and they have a lot of attacking options.
  • Expect Schalke to dominate the game from the outset with Fürth waiting for their chances on the break. The away team should be slight favourites.
